Hello all,
I hope that this is the right list to ask about Mailman's admin options, if not, let me know where I should ask :)
I'm looking for someone to help me with the config of a mailing-list, to reactivate the semi-automated spam filter.
I'm one of the admins on the Wikidata mailing-list. A while ago, to prevent my newsletter to be considered as spam because it included too many links, I changed something in the config of the mailing-list, I don't remember exactly what, but it was about not filtering spam for the admins anymore, and sending each single spam email (or emails from non-registered users) to the ML owners. Since then we end up with tons of emails in our mailboxes everyday. I tried to reactivate this "pre-filter" feature, but I can't remember where it is and how to do it right.
Does anyone have a clue about how to fix this? Thanks in advance :)
I'm not a pro when it comes to mailman. So, I couldn't give explicit answers. Anyways, I found the following articles which might possibly help you:
* Mailman Administrators FAQ https://blink.ucsd.edu/technology/email/services/lists/admin/faq.html (In particular, the "List moderation and spam" section)
* Mailman: List Configuration Options https://blink.ucsd.edu/technology/email/services/lists/admin/config.html
* HOWTO Deal With Spam as a Mailman List Owner https://dltj.org/article/mailman-spam-howto/
