Hello
We are a few wondering how to deal with a situation where ... no name
has been mentionned as operating a mailing list... and no one is
answering the email list as contact for the list admin...
Specifically speaking of the gender gap mailing list... So what are...
the options ? if any ?
Best regards
Florence
I have spotted the following problem:
When I mass subscribe users there are some options listed to add
description to email:
The following formats are accepted:
jdoe(a)example.com
<jdoe(a)example.com>
John Doe <jdoe(a)example.com>
"John Doe" <jdoe(a)example.com>
jdoe(a)example.com (John Doe)
Unfortunately this does not work. Regardless of how I put the name the
list of users only contains the address but not the name. I cannot also
find a way for the group admin to add the description later.
Am I missing something?

Hello! I am an admin of the
https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/wikipedia-en-editfilters.lists.…
mailing list. Starting some months ago, we get spam more or less on a daily
basis. We have all messages automatically held for approval, so our readers
aren't seeing the spam, rather myself and the other admin are burdened with
logging in and rejecting the emails every day.
Is there any advice on how to prevent this from happening? I am aware some
lists have moved to Google Groups. Would that help, you think? If so, how
might I go about migrating my mailing list to it? We have long banned the
email addresses, but it seems rarely we get spam from the same email twice,
so this tactic has not been very effective.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
~ MusikAnimal
Dear Wikimedia Listadmins,
I'm writing to you all to say farewell, as I have retired from my listadmin
roles for Wikimania-l and Wikimedia-Asia-Chapters.
It was nice to catch up with many of you in person at Wikimania 2023, and
also online in recent months. In the run-up to Wikimania though, it became
apparent to me that new real-life duties in recent years mean that I no
longer have the quick-response availability to operate effectively as a
listadmin, and I had decided that after Wikimania 2023 would be a good time
to step down.
It has been a joy to serve as a Wikimedia listadmin for the last 10
years(!). For now I'm continuing as a casual on-wiki volunteer; so you can
still find me at Cantonese Wikipedia or English Wikipedia; or simply write
to my personal email address here. But for now it's farewell from me as
listadmin and I'll be unsubscribing from listadmins-l shortly. Thank you
for all the stroopwafels!
With much wiki-love,
Deryck
List admins,
This user is getting out of control. Posting on mailing list it can.
Kind regards,
Butch

I am no more a writer. My attempts to ask ends here. I accept all acts of
mine as committed by me that violated rules or did any breech of trust. I
accept. tried loging in Wiki books. If I get only one website of Wikipedia
then I will use for students. I need nothing else from Wikipedia. 🙏🏼 I
want to read and make watch list for convenient using only after being
blocked. I am unable to tell anyone reality of being blocked in Wikipedia
as revealing it will make them negative for Wikipedia. I know it's value
and wanted others know the same and use as I did.
This is the last request for getting an answer in hope still alive because
of those students who saw me with with hope but I played with them
advocating Wikipedia study.

Dear List Admins,
I came to my attention that this user is subscribed to many mailing lists
and it seems just dumping random text in every mailing list and seems
irrelevant to the thread or topic raised.
Kind regards,

Subject: Talk to solve
To: <wikimedia-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
I need a responsive, committed and paitent user or co worker to help,answer
and guide me when I will need as essential as breathing is for living. I am
a blocked ( everywhere ) user who don't know who is with me for assisting.
A nice and friendly user QuicoleJR is my need if you ask me and I don't
know other users or don't want know some harassment spealist user.
QuicoleJR is perhaps unable to receive my messages or reply due to
universal block status of mine but was helpful whenever I needed. I request
you to provide me access to QuicoleJR user and I will ask and learn then
work as well if allowed with no other users help. I have many things to
teach QuicoleJR user while I'm on learning if survive here. I need that
user only for the company and will not trust in other deletestars or
deletadmins or any Deletopidea user and personal. I hope this message will
be read and can be taken to concern of answering in rejected or accepted
both aspect of my universal block identity and my achievements of universal
records of trying and falling frequency of attempts in Wikipedia.
Thank you if you got this message.
If not ! then you are a lier.
I suppose we're a bit used to spam filters getting the spam before it
reaches us, but this morning there were 12 spam messages in the
wikimediauk-l queue when usually one gets that far every week or two.
Have we removed any of the pre-filtering that I'm presuming was there
before?

Hello listadmins,
I've recently noticed that moderation request emails from Wikimedia lists
have the following standard instruction message:
If you reply to this message, keeping the Subject: header intact,
> Mailman will discard the held message. Do this if the message is
> spam. If you reply to this message and include an Approved: header
> with the list password in it, the message will be approved for posting
> to the list. The Approved: header can also appear in the first line
> of the body of the reply.
I thought Wikimedia lists no longer had a "list password" since we moved to
Postorius. Do the instructions need updating? If so, how?
I got this message as an admin of wikimania-l but presumably the same issue
applies to all legacy mailing lists that we migrated from the old mailman
server.

Hey list administrators!
This morning, I woke up to a couple hundred automatic unsubscribes for
bounces on the WikiApiary mailing list.
Did anything happen on the server side that may have caused this?
Mark.
Hi listadmins,
There was an issue with the Mailman server following network maintenance
that caused mail delivery to stop since about 2023-03-07 14:35 UTC.
It was restarted at 2023-03-09 16:02 UTC, but it will take a bit of time
for it to clear through the backlog. By the time you get this email it
should be all caught up.
For technical details and the forthcoming incident report, you can folow

Sorry about the disruption.
