As you may have noticed, there has been an uptick in spam getting through to the Google Groups run by the Jenkins project. On some lists, these have resulted in Google flagging the group and bouncing emails from those groups.
This was discussed during our last project meeting (http://meetings.jenkins-ci.org/jenkins-meeting/2017/jenkins-meeting.2017-04-12-18.00.html), and as promised I wanted to let everybody know where things stand and why. If you receive emails as they're posted (non-digest mode) from Google Groups, if a spamemr gets through, there's nothing we can do for you. While I have added a couple more "Manager" roles to the jenkinsci-users@ list, who can ban authors and delete posts, once something is delivered to your inbox, there's nothing we can do. Some people have suggested first-poster moderation, which is one option, but not one I'm personally willing to turn on until more people are active moderators. Unfortunately I took a weekend off from my morning-routine of banning spammers two weekends ago, which seems to have led to the recent surge and flagging of the group. What we are evaluating between last project meeting and the upcoming one (April 26) is whether Google Groups is still a viable option for the Jenkins project. A number of other projects have moved to groups.io, which would be a likely destination if Google continues to flag our groups. Consider yourselves updated, feel free to ping me on IRC (rtyler) with questions. Cheers - R.
