As I've been catching up on the latest XMPP developments, I noticed
that the editor mailing list is experiencing a significant influx of
spam. You can see the extent of the issue here:
https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/
Not sure what can be done to clean and filter that spam more
efficiently, but the list is probably not veryt useful as is.
Thanks, you're right. We used to have a filter that only accepted mail
with 'XEP' in the title, but that seems to have been lost with the
migration. Hopefully the new version of mailman still supports such
functionality...
It does and I can change the list configuration.
Also, there are only two people (me and Kev) on the list - presumably
a bunch of folks got dropped during the big mailman outage. Do we even
need the list?
I think there's value both in using it as a spam filter with the
mentioned rule, and then having the archive available for when Editor
changes hands, or to confirm that something wasn't dropped, etc.
Not a hill for me to die on, but as long as there's an Editor I'd rather
it was kept than dropped.
I've just fixed up the config and will send a few test messages.
