That is totally automatic. You don't even see the SPAM because the mail server can easily filter it out. At least I have never seen any spam to the list. > Who is more > important to the elfutils discussion - those who are subscribed and take the > 5 seconds to > get subscribed, or random strangers who are too lazy to subscribe? I think you aren't seeing the bigger picture. It isn't total strangers, it is just people who don't want to or can subscribe to each and every mailinglist just to have a quick conversation with the other hackers. > As has been mentioned, there is no mailserver administrator within reach who > can do this. > There is however a list admin who can set the list to subscriber-only. Or maybe we should move the mailinglist then in that case to a setup where things can be setup with automagic spam filtering.
