[Mailman-Users] Ban list - correct regular expression?

[Clare Redstone]

I get lots of spam held for moderation from email addresses that begin
Hayley@ . I go to the moderation queue, discard each email address and tick
to ban that address from every subscribing. And to discard anything coming
from that address automatically. It would save me a lot of time if I can
have this happen automatically. But am not entirely sure how.

 

I've tried adding ^hayley to the list of addresses banned from membership
(subscription rules). And to the List of non-member addresses whose postings
will be automatically discarded (sender filters.)

 

Is that the right expression? And are those the right places to add it?

 

I didn't put them in the reject messages list as I thought that might send
an automatic message back saying the message had been rejected. Which would
be evidence ours is a real address and maybe encourage even more spam.

 

Have I set this up correctly? Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

 

(And if you're called Hayley and want to join the list - um - tough?!)

 

Clare

Yes and yes assuming what you want to ban/discard is any address
beginning with hayley regardless of capitalization (these matches are
all case-insensitive).
