NACK on Google Groups. Their anti-spam measures are weak and just recently I've heard of issues with their moderation notifications not getting through (on the perlbal/mogilefs groups), so new posters got silently ignored for a long time. I also dislike user tracking/profiling done by Google, and it's gotten worse now they're doing G+. > Disabling posting for non-subscribers only shouldn't be too hard.

The git-ML (and LKML) culture favors lists that allow unsubscribed users to post, and I think this does a lot to encourage users to get involved. SpamAssassin is great. I use it on my own server, so it manages to catch much of the spam that comes to this list. Some spam will always get through, but that's email. _______________________________________________ cgit mailing list [email protected] http://hjemli.net/mailman/listinfo/cgit
