Subject: [Wikitech-l] Mail server blacklisted by SpamCop
To: Wikimedia developers wikitech-l@wikimedia.org
For some lovely reason our new mail server has been blacklisted by SpamCop,
allegedly for sending mail to spamtrap addresses. (They provide no details by
policy, of course, so there's no way to verify it.)
Since there's a tiny possibility that the user-to-user email feature actually
could be abused, I've gone ahead and enabled the e-mail confirmation requirement
for using email features. This is a bit annoying for the moment since you have
to do it separately on each wiki.
I've disputed the listing, so hopefully we'll get it removed soonish and those
who aren't getting email will, uh, start getting it again.
