Some of the UG forums are in the process of being overrun by a spam message that started being posted this morning. Is there anyone who can catch what is happening and stop them? For example, check out both ug-chmosug and ug-cosug

Thanks Stephen... I've banned this idiot from every mailing list on os.o now.

So we have a mail system wide ban list now ? Great, how to the moderators for the individual lists feed into that ?


At the moment, it's not easy. I had to ssh into the mailman machine and run mailman's list_lists/config_list CLI programs to add the user to the ban_list/discard_these_nonmembers fields for every mailing list.

Obviously this isn't a long-term solution... we'll need to work out some way to make an option like this system-wide, and accessible to moderators/list-owners.

Gary and I will try to take this into account as we rebuild the mail server.

cheers,
steve
