Re: Pony mail usage
Looping in dev@ponymail...
tl;dr is there a way to use ponymail from within the whimsy secmail application? I'd like to search private mail when processing iclas for new committers.

Looks like this only works for the simple search.
[Need to raise a bug for it.]
But a combination of that plus experimentation and the API docs might
be suffficient.

I did not find this to be the case. The url doesn't update for me except when changing the list, e.g. https://lists.apache.org/list.html?members@apache.org
When I then select Advanced, and enter data in the form fields, and do the search, the url does not change.
Is there some other way that I can change the url to capture the search?

I tried to get some messages containing [RESULT] in the subject and tried:
https://lists.apache.org/list.html?private@hadoop.apache.org&s=2016-01&e=2017-03&header_subject=%5bRESULT%5d&q=Seethana
The url percent escape for [ is %5b and for ] is %5d.
How do I get more "quick" terms? I'd like to search for any of the names in the Full Name or Public Name.
How do I get private@*.apache.org (all lists option) in the url?
This looks promising!

The ES database contains private messages; I assume all ASF members
would have access to all mails so AFAICT granting arbitrary read-only
access would not expose data that they cannot see anyway. There are
some fields in the mbox records that are not currently exposed, but
probably those are not any more private than the message data.
However the ES database also stores other data - e.g. per-user account
data - which I don't believe should be made available to all members.
Unless access to that other data can be restricted in some way by URL
I think it will be necessary to filter requests through some local
scripts installed on the server.

I did not find this to be the case. The url doesn't update for me except when changing the list, e.g. https://lists.apache.org/list.html?members@apache.org
When I then select Advanced, and enter data in the form fields, and do the search, the url does not change.
Is there some other way that I can change the url to capture the search?

Re: Pony mail usage
Posted by Sam Ruby <ru...@intertwingly.net>.
I'll note that PM is based on ElasticSearch which has its own API.
Direct access to ES could enable the secmail tool to build a truly
custom interface.
One way to deal with the credentials issue would be for PonyMail to
expose a read-only interface to ES that is only available to ASF
members. An nginx example of doing this can be found here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14115475/easy-way-to-make-an-elasticsearch-server-read-only
This could readily be adapted to Apache HTTPD, and make use of LDAP
for authentication.

Re: Pony mail usage
Posted by sebb <se...@gmail.com>.
The PM API is described here:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-ponymail/blob/master/docs/API.md
Since the messages are private, it would also be necessary to sign in
with the ASF oauth system to get the auth cookie.
This is handled partly in Javascript. I don't think there is any
explicit docn for this.
Then one would need to use the API to find the matches and finally
return the document(s).
It would be a lot easier to use the web interface directly.
i.e. Whimsy could generate links with the appropriate search settings
to be run in a separate tab or Window.
Since manual searches update the browser URL, it should be easy enough
to perform some sample searches and record the URLs which can be
updated for different searches.
