I haven't thought about that. Anyway, it's your job to do that first, then the mentors will discuss it in terms of their experience and implementation knowledge. > > I don't see why you would have a separate table for messages.

We already have code to do that kind of thing, if not in Mailman 3, in Mailman 2 (pipermail) and in HyperKitty. Make sure you consider existing implementations, possibly including those outside of Mailman if they do a better job. > Also I had to ask, would it be good if we provide the list-admin > with an option to bypass this throttling for some people?

On the developer lists I know of, I would just moderate abusers and be done with it. Non-core people rarely post enough to cause issues. Discussion lists are a little bit different but again in my experience it has never happened that enough people cause problems that a throttle was useful, anyway. Typically when traffic gets too large lists split topically. That doesn't mean that this feature isn't useful, it just means I can't be very helpful in telling you what the uses are. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
