Yup. One thing I also do is share an auto-whitelist among all the lists on my server. So, if [EMAIL PROTECTED] confirms his post to tmda-users, he'll instantly be able to post to tmda-workers as well. This makes things even more transparent for the end-user, particularly at sites hosting many lists. > You're now essentially back in the old days of the 1980s when we > could safely run open lists. Once in a blue moon, a spammer will actually confirm his spam to a list, which then requires a bit of intervention to remove the address from the auto-whitelist, and blacklist it. But, you'll also now have a verifiable address to use to track him down and fry his ass <wink>. However, this is rare. It hasn't happened on any of my lists in the five months since I implemented this setup. -- (http://tmda.net/) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman-21/listinfo/mailman-developers
