Hi there,

I was about to complain about this because the mailing lists I administer (metawiki-admins and meta-oversight) are also suffering from this flood.

I've set ^aol\.com as banned (not sure if that's right?) to stop them as I've got few dozens of requests like that already.

Thanks for your help.

Regards, M.

Hi there.

On the lists "wikimedia-sk" and "wikimedia-sk-oznamy", where I am admin, we have received suspicious mass subscriptions (several tens in several hours). They came from nowhere, all with @aol.com address (very unusual for our target group) and all declared only first name. Most certainly some bot.

Provisionally I have set them all for moderation. Eventually I could block subscriptions from @aol.com addresses (no too big deal, because hardly someone real in our audience is using them) but I prefer systemic solutions and not to cure symptoms. And possibly someone else here is running into the same problem.

Any suggestions?

Regards!
