[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#549224: postfix-to-mailman.py cannot receive cookies

[martin f krafft]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.12-1
Severity: normal

I am staring at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-mailman/trunk/debian/contrib/postfix-to-mailman.py
and I wonder how that is supposed to handle confirmation cookies.
E.g. if I send a mail to
<debianbook-announce-confirm+5299708fb6fd4cc585aaf3eae349be004e2b085f at lists.madduck.net>,
then postfix passes the entire localpart with $mailbox in argv[2] to
the script. There, the script tries to match -confirm at the end,
but obviously that doesn't match, and so it looks for the mailing
list
"debianbook-announce-confirm+5299708fb6fd4cc585aaf3eae349be004e2b085f",
which doesn't exist, and returns E_NOUSER. The script needs to deal
with cookies for some commands, but it does not.

If someone told me how to pass the cookie into the call to the
mailman wrapper
  /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm <maillist>

then I can provide the python patch.
