Better spam filtering would be helpful, but we have to assume that no filter will ever be perfect. It's probably time to implement access controls on mail to rooms.
I think we can safely assume that the following are always allowed:
1. Mail from non-SMTP sources (such as other Citadel nodes on the network)
2. Anything from an authenticated SMTP connection
lmtp.unfiltered?
And it's probably safe to accept mail from:
3. Someone whose address is subscribed to a mailing list room
4. Someone whose address is subscribed to a mailing list room in digest form
So all we have to add is:
5. One extra type of listrecp that doesn't actually get anything delivered from them -- it merely identifies their email address to Citadel as someone who is allowed to post to a room via SMTP
And possibly:
6. A global list of addresses (such as fleeb's cell phone) that can post to *any* room via SMTP.
and there allso needs to be a way to have the old behaviour, if you want to use a room as 'shared inbox' for example stuff like "service@" where people can publicaly mail to, and a team of users processes the mail. though this needs to be spam filtered too.
