Y'all, In my study of my mailing lists today (both new in MM 2.1, and upgraded from 2.0.13), I made the sad discovery that
generic_nonmember_action = 0 for **all** of my lists. The "bend over and take spam" setting. I noticed that DEFAULT_GENERIC_NONMEMBER_ACTION is set to one in Mailman/Defaults.py, but I don't think this setting works properly. If it did work properly, I would argue that the default should be 2 (reject), not 1 (hold for administrator). Why should the list administrator be bothered with having to tend admin requests from spammers and other idiots? ----------------------------------- Jeff A.
