I don't have a problem with restricting posts to subscribers, and if it cuts down on the spam... go for it! Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Sawyers" <andrew@zope.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: June 25, 2004 10:30 AM Subject: [Zope] Restricting Posts to Subscribers
A similar discussion is taking place on zope-dev and I'd like to bring that here as well. I'd like to propose that we change the Mailman policy for this list to restrict posting to subscribers only. I'm sure others will agree and others will not. Some of the recent issues I've seen are: A) I can't stop some logical extensions (.zip) which are now containing virus' from getting to the list without causing problems for those who are possibly attaching valid attachments B) We can't stop all spam - we're using 3 rbl lists to stop as much as we can; that is not good enough IMNSHO C) We can stop outside mailers from replying to the list illogically My vote is for refusing posts from non-subscriber emails.
Let the beatings begin. Andrew
