This runner’s purpose in life is to process messages that have been accepted for posting, applying any modifications and also sending copies of the message to the archives, digests, nntp, and outgoing queues. Pipelines are named and consist of a sequence of handlers, each of which is applied in turn. Unlike rules and chains, there is no way to stop a pipeline from processing the message once it’s started.
>>> mlist = create_list('xtest@example.com')
>>> print mlist.pipeline
built-in
>>> from mailman.core.pipelines import process
Messages hit the pipeline after they’ve been accepted for posting.
>>> msg = message_from_string("""\
... From: aperson@example.com
... To: xtest@example.com
... Subject: My first post
... Message-ID: <first>
...
... First post!
... """)
>>> msgdata = {}
>>> process(mlist, msg, msgdata, mlist.pipeline)
The message has been modified with additional headers, footer decorations, etc.
>>> print msg.as_string()

And the message metadata has information about recipients and other stuff. However there are currently no recipients for this message.
>>> dump_msgdata(msgdata)
original_sender : aperson@example.com
origsubj : My first post
recipients : set([])
stripped_subject: My first post
And the message is now sitting in various other processing queues.
>>> from mailman.testing.helpers import get_queue_messages
>>> messages = get_queue_messages('archive')
>>> len(messages)
1
>>> print messages[0].msg.as_string()

This mailing list is not linked to an NNTP newsgroup, so there’s nothing in the outgoing nntp queue.
>>> messages = get_queue_messages('news')
>>> len(messages)
0
This is the message that will actually get delivered to end recipients.
>>> messages = get_queue_messages('out')
>>> len(messages)
