bounceback spam is becoming a problem for me.
spammers use the some email random email addresses in the From/ReplyTo
field and spam my mailman subscription address @
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This causes "unknown command"
bounceback to some innocent email user who never sent any emails to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
how can I address this problem? The IP block owner for my servers
wants a resolution ASAP.
There was a long discussion of this on Mailman-Developers in March. See
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2008-March/thread.html>.
In short, the way to address this is to disable the -subscribe, -join,
-request, -unsubscribe, -leave and perhaps other email addresses (remove
teir aliases so they are undeliverable), and require the users to
subscribe/unsubscribe/confirm/etc. via the web.
