I entirely sympathize with the list moderators here; I moderate several other lists, and the amount of spam coming in has gotten ridiculous. It's not unusual to get 50 spam messages a day on most lists, and even more on lists like wikimedia-l or wik-en-l - or some of the email addresses feeding into OTRS.I think this comes down to some fundamental issues with filtering of spam at the systems level, and it might be worthwhile to put in a bugzilla to see if better spam filtering throughout the Mailman system can be added in.Risker/AnneOn 30 October 2013 11:59, Lane Rasberry <lane@bluerasberry.com> wrote:
yours,Kevin,What you propose is entirely reasonable. I support your idea of autofiltering spam.

I've been getting a very large number of held for moderation email messages each day, and only one in a hundred are legitimate messages. I'm going to adjust our spam filters later tonight to hopefully let a higher number of the messages that are legitimate through, but after that, I'm going to start autofiltering the spam notifications out and not reading them. I hate to do so, but there are just too many of them.If you send a message to the list and it doesn't get through, please email me personally so I can approve it. Additionally, if you're a member who has been moderated and send an email to the list, please drop me a personal email as well, so that I can approve it.Thanks,Kevin Gorman
