Not even minimum integration with tools like Spamassassin, CRM114 and such? Or a workflow in which suspicious posts are sent to moderators via email, who then send pass/drop commands (automated or by hand in own mail client) to the mail list? Similar fashion than (un)subscribe command. Oh well, it seems too late anyway now.

Also we realize it's very low volume these days (barely a few threads per month, counting all mailing lists together). Myself I barely look at mailing lists every once in a while and make a random answer sometimes. And there were several mailing lists I was not even subscribed to (I did for the sake of this announcement). So that's probably why none from the core team is really trying to fight this change. There is one more thing to take into consideration: more infrastructure means more work. I said it above, I am exhausted by this all. I was only managing one of the mailing lists so far (the gimp-gui one, the most recent) and still had to regularly handle spams. I am personally thankful that this work goes to GNOME admins now. Spam did indeed heavily outweigh the on-topic messages on the other five mailing lists for quite some time - and anyone who's ever maintained a mailman-based mailing list can likely confirm that spam handling there is not as comfortable as doing this in e.g. a capable mail client. -- Regards, Michael ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
