py2-ipaddress module is installed. The module can be installed via pip
if not included in your Python.
+ - Thanks to Jim Popovitch, Mailman has a new 'security' log and logs
+ authentication failures to the various web CGI functions. The logged
+ data include the remote IP and can be used to automate blocking of IPs
+ with something like fail2ban. Since Mailman 2.1.14, these have returned
+ an http 401 status and the information should be logged by the web
+ server, but this new log makes that more convenient. Also, the
+ 'mischief' log entries for 'hostile listname' noe include the remote IP
+ if available.
+
+ - Thanks to Jim Popovitch, admin notices of (un)subscribes now may give
+ the source of the action. This consists of a %(whence)s replacement
+ that can be added to the admin(un)subscribeack.txt templates. This
+ has been done for the 'en' templates, but not for most others.
+
+ - Thanks to Jim Popovitch, there is a new
+ BLOCK_SPAMHAUS_LISTED_DBL_SUBSCRIBE setting to enable blocking web
+ subscribes for addresses in domains listed in the Spamhaus DBL.
