If the requests are coming by email to the list-join, list-subscribe or list-request (with a subscribe command) addresses, you could disable delivery to those addresses in your MTA or possibly temporarily move aside Mailman's scripts/join, scripts/subscribe and maybe scripts/request files. If the requests are coming from the subscribe form on the list's listinfo page, you could temporarily remove the form by editing the page through the web admin UI. You would have to check your web server logs to see how the requests are arriving. If they are direct POSTs to the subscribe CGI, you could temporarily move aside Mailman's cgi-bin/subscribe wrapper or you could install/upgrade Mailman >= 2.1.16 and enable Mailman's SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET (See the description in Mailman/Defaults.py. If your issue is that it is tedious to 'discard' (don't ever 'reject' spam or a spammer's subscription request, 'discard' it.) all the requests from the web UI, you may find the script at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/list_requests> more convenient. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
