First of all, thank you so much to Amir, Legoktm, and everyone else involved in this migration. Top notch!
I have another question about "Spam, etc". Old Mailman had a XXth century UI for processing spam with a gazillion options. Now we seem to have only three: "Accept, Reject, Discard". While "Accept" is clear... can someone explain the difference between Reject and Discard, please? Wiktionary alone didn't help. :)
With the new mailman, I'm really excited to see global bans. Is there already some workflow we're supposed to follow to mark spam? It would be great if listadmins could mark stuff as spam and that would then trigger global bans somehow if it happened multiple times. I know I can file a ticket, but want to make sure we first arrive on a desirable solution before we throw it into the dev's lap(s) :)
Best,
Lodewijk
Hi everyone,
In Mailman2 some lists would ban everyone and then manually add
subscribers who should be on the list. In Mailman3 this is no longer
possible, the ban list trumps everything. If an address is banned,
messages from it will be silently discarded, regardless of whether
they're subscribed or any other options.
We have so far either removed these kinds of bans during imports or held
off importing these lists yet.
Please review your list's ban list ("Ban List" tab in Postorius) and
remove any overly broad ones.
As a sidenote, we now have the ability to enact global bans, so if
there's a domain or pattern spamming across multiple lists, we can block
it in one spot.
I've also added this information to
