Howdy, >Why wouldn't you be 100% happy with the suggested approach? What are your >objections?
Because every now and then there's a confused/unsure user who is looking for the product or information about it and arrived at the email address ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever) via means other than the formal Apache Mailing List instructions page, so they don't have the directions on how to subscribe. This happens once or twice a week, at least, for the tomcat lists. Moving to your suggested policy would automatically block messages from these users, which is unfortunate but not that big a cost to pay for blocking thousands of spam messages and freeing up moderators' time. Hence my +0, it's a non-ideal world with spam ;( Yoav Shapira > >At 09:32 AM 8/7/2003 -0400, you wrote: > >>Howdy, >>As a moderator for the tomcat-dev and tomcat-user mailing lists, I tend to >>agree with your approach: +0, as I'm not 100% happy about it. >> >>Yoav Shapira >>Millennium ChemInformatics >> >> >> >-----Original Message----- >> >From: Ceki Gülcü [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 4:55 AM >> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >Subject: Moderating mailing lists >> > >> >Hi, >> > >> >Given that spam makes up the vast majority of messages to the log4j >> >mailings requiring moderation (or manual intervention by the >moderators), >> >the current moderators that is Jon Skeet and myself, would like to >request >> >[EMAIL PROTECTED] to modify our mailing lists so that they no longer >> >require moderation.
