Re: zope-dev list policies
-1 on changing the list policy. I read and post to all of the public lists through Gmane, which won't work if the policy is changed. I rarely see spam get through list either (unless Gmane is filtering it all out for me), so I fail to see the problem from that point of view. -Casey On Wed, 16 Jun 2004 21:24:07 -0400 "Tim Peters" <tim.one@comcast.net> wrote:
Over on the zope and zope-dev lists, there's currently agitation to make them members-only mailing lists. The point is that spam could not get thru then (unless posted by a member).
What would zodb-dev members like?
Posting by a list member would not be affected, unless you attempted to send a message from an email account other than one you subscribed with. In the latter case, your message would be bounced back to you.
You could worm around that by subscribing to zodb-dev with that address too, then going to your list membership page on the web and checking the box to suspend email delivery on that account. Then you could post using that account too, but wouldn't also get zodb-dev email on that account.
I'm the list admin for zodb-dev, and don't have a preference. If you do, and it's strong enough to scream it, shout. The loudest screamer will win<wink>. By default, I won't change the current policy (anyone can post here, member or not).

I might be wrong but I think this is incorrect. From the headers of this message you sent it's possible to see that you sent it thru gmane, yet the "From:" address is your zope.com address, so you should not have a problem posting thru the list this way. Cheers, Leo

I think you got a direct reply (but could be wrong). I got the original mail bounced to me just now. Tres. -- =============================================================== Tres Seaver tseaver@zope.com Zope Corporation "Zope Dealers" http://www.zope.com

Tres. This surprises me.
I am administring plone-i18n mailing list. Non members cannot post. I always post through gmane and my messages get accepted ! Further, I think Mohsen has a very good point when he mentions the fact that spam pollutes the archives ! IOW, I think we really could make advantage of "Non-members not allowed" on zope lists. -- Godefroid Chapelle (aka __gotcha) http://bubblenet.be

As long as posting from Gmane still works, then I'm fine with restricting postings to members. If we decide to go ahead I suggest restricting just one list first to see if there are issues. IMO zope-dev is a reasonable candidate for a trial list. -Casey

Umm... Why wouldn't this work? Isn't Gmane a subscriber? -- - Michael R. Bernstein | Author of Zope Bible michaelbernstein.com | & Zope.org Webmaster panhedron.com | PythonPhotos.org
