Put "^" (without the quotation marks) in Privacy Options | Subscription Policy | ban_list. (It says "list of addresses" but it also permits patterns. "^" is a pattern that matches at the beginning of any string, so it matches all addresses.) Note that if you want to subscribe an address, even from the Mass Subscription page, you will have to temporarily remove this pattern from the ban_list, subscribe the address, then put the pattern back. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we found that allowing Mass Subscription to override the banlist was vulnerable to "social engineering" where a malicious actor convinces the admin to subscribe them. > 2. how can I mass discard those request from console? There is a script called "discard" in Mailman's mailman/bin directory. cd to the mailman directory (usually /var/lib/mailman or /var/local/lib/mailman), and call "bin/discard qfiles/commands/*". This is safe: if a subscription happens to be in process but is not a held message, it will be ignored. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/
