Re: [Wikitech-l] Help with Mailman spam filter
Thanks all for your answers and suggestions! I got some help and found the parameter I needed to change: *generic_nonmember_action* (privacy): Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined.

Thanks in advance :) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/listadmins may be a better list for questions about configuring a mailman list.

[Wikitech-l] Help with Mailman spam filter
Hello all, I hope that this is the right list to ask about Mailman's admin options, if not, let me know where I should ask :) I'm looking for someone to help me with the config of a mailing-list, to reactivate the semi-automated spam filter. I'm one of the admins on the Wikidata mailing-list. A while ago, to prevent my newsletter to be considered as spam because it included too many links, I changed something in the config of the mailing-list, I don't remember exactly what, but it was about not filtering spam for the admins anymore, and sending each single spam email (or emails from non-registered users) to the ML owners. Since then we end up with tons of emails in our mailboxes everyday. I tried to reactivate this "pre-filter" feature, but I can't remember where it is and how to do it right. Does anyone have a clue about how to fix this? Thanks in advance :) -- Léa Lacroix Project Manager Community Communication for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
