I agree that this is a hard problem, and not one we should try to solve in Mailman 2. But I wonder if we can't do a better job on behalf of list admins in Mailman 3? What I have specifically in mind is to reject the message in Mailman if From (or Sender?) is a list member, *after* checking for "actionable" messages (eg, DSNs for bounce processing). Are there any legitimate reasons for a subscriber to send mail to listname-bounces? The is_subscriber test would avoid 99% of backscatter, as well, I hope. If people consistently get an automated rejection, most will learn (by now they've figured out that human owners are a lot more flexible and helpful than even the best software == GNU Mailman). Some will scream at the list owner, so probably this feature would need to be an option. :-( ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
