==========================
Mailing list configuration
==========================
Mailing lists can be configured via the REST API.
>>> mlist = create_list('test-one@example.com')
>>> transaction.commit()
Reading a configuration
=======================
All readable attributes for a list are available on a sub-resource.
>>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'

Changing the full configuration
===============================
Not all of the readable attributes can be set through the web interface. The
ones that can, can either be set via ``PUT`` or ``PATCH``. ``PUT`` changes
all the writable attributes in one request.

Changing a partial configuration
================================
Using ``PATCH``, you can change just one attribute.
>>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
... 'test-one@example.com/config',
... dict(display_name='My List'),
... 'PATCH')
content-length: 0
date: ...
server: ...
status: 204
These values are changed permanently.
>>> print mlist.display_name
My List
Sub-resources
=============
Many of the mailing list configuration variables are actually available as
sub-resources on the mailing list. This is because they are collections,
sequences, and other complex configuration types. Their values can be
retrieved and set through the sub-resource.
Acceptable aliases
------------------
These are recipient aliases that can be used in the ``To:`` and ``CC:``
headers instead of the posting address. They are often used in forwarded
emails. By default, a mailing list has no acceptable aliases.
>>> from mailman.interfaces.mailinglist import IAcceptableAliasSet
>>> IAcceptableAliasSet(mlist).clear()
>>> transaction.commit()
>>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
... 'test-one@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases')
acceptable_aliases: []
http_etag: "..."
We can add a few by ``PUT``-ing them on the sub-resource. The keys in the
dictionary are ignored.
>>> dump_json('http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
... 'test-one@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases',
... dict(acceptable_aliases=['foo@example.com',
... 'bar@example.net']),
... 'PUT')
content-length: 0
date: ...
server: WSGIServer/...
status: 204
Aliases are returned as a list on the ``aliases`` key.
>>> response = call_http(
... 'http://localhost:9001/3.0/lists/'
... 'test-one@example.com/config/acceptable_aliases')
>>> for alias in response['acceptable_aliases']:
... print alias
bar@example.net
foo@example.com
The mailing list has its aliases set.
>>> from mailman.interfaces.mailinglist import IAcceptableAliasSet
>>> aliases = IAcceptableAliasSet(mlist)
>>> for alias in sorted(aliases.aliases):
... print alias
bar@example.net
foo@example.com
