Hello,
I'm trying to ban @aol.com for signing up to wikimediacz-l. This is a member-only list for Wikimedia Czech Republic members and as aol.com is pretty unfrequent in Czechia, I don't expect any problems (and if there will be some, members of the list are added by a list administrator). There is a big sign-up spam, so that's the reason why I decided to issue the block.
If there is a way how to enforce manual adding by a list administrator, I'll be happy, but helping how to add whole aol.com to ban_list will be useful. I tried to add "^.*@aol.com$" (a regex) to the ban_list variable, but this apparently do not help, still some aol addresses are able to sign up.
Thank you in advance for any help. Martin
Hi, I found these instructions, not sure if accurate or still applicable:

If someone finds a solution, it would be welcome to document them on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Administration#Privacy_options Also wondering if cases such as blocking spam to -owner addresses https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/operations-puppet/browse/production... should be covered there.
