Nobody wanted to use a "fail" qualifier, due to the risk of legitimate mail not being delivered. So even if he had deployed it, it probably wouldn't have helped in this case. Mailman's security weaknesses are inherent to the protocol it uses, there's no way to repair it. The scam email could have been sent with a "From" header copied from anyone who has posted to the list recently. In the unlikely event that SPF fail was used for that sender and the receiver respected it, the scammer could have just picked again. We should use a web interface for posting to groups, web interfaces can be password protected without breaking 99% of clients. I removed board(a)wikimedia.org from the list of email addresses that are allowed to post to the list without being subscribed. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Forgive me for not knowing, but what is OIT? A quick Google gives me Oregon Institute of Technology, but I that is it given the context.

We are currently stuck at the step of mapping out how we originate mail for the whitelist. Production and Google Apps mail are easy. But people say we may have volunteers, board members, etc. who do not use our known mail routes.

Or alternatively, a non-free software giant like Google. But it comes to roughly the same conclusion.

It was my understanding that part of this discussion was to require volunteers to use a specific mail server to post to the list....but now I can't find the message that gave me that impression, so maybe I've misunderstood the nature of the thread?

(I'm leaving out arguments about the decision to host with Google, but it seems like a relevant thing, perhaps there are archived discussions that I could read?) -- Mark Holmquist Contractor, Wikimedia Foundation mtraceur(a)member.fsf.org http://marktraceur.info _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
