My list owners were getting hit pretty hard with spam, almost 4,000 just over a weekend. I did the following which has blocked most if not all of the spam going to listowners. What I did was the following: I edited the Defaults.py file to have the -owner messages go through the same pipeline as the normal messages delivered to list members. I know that one downside to this change is if someone wanted to subscribe to a list and sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the request it would fail to be delivered. Most people contact our list owners directly through someone they know or with their work email. Since I made this change I have not seen any disturbances or problems, everything is running smoothly. I am posting this email to see if there are ramifications to this change other than the one I mentioned.
Here is the change I made to the Defaults.py file: OWNER_PIPELINE = [ 'SpamDetect', 'Approve', 'Replybot', 'Moderate', 'Hold', MimeDel', 'Scrubber', 'Emergency', 'Tagger', 'CalRecipe', 'AviodDuplicates', 'Clense', 'Cookheaders', 'OwnerRecipe', 'ToOutgoing' ] I know I don't need all of the above but I wanted to duplicate how messages were handled when people send directly to the list. -- Jewel ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
