Re: [racket-users] Discourse - Mailing list mode
Would it be possible to allow only sending to racket+nos...@discoursemail.com and filtering out those sent to just racket@...? Maybe that could avoid *some* spam. Not sure how effective that would be though.

Re: [racket-users] Discourse - Mailing list mode
Thanks to Sam you can now post to discourse via email with the address rac...@discoursemail.com You do need to use the address you signed up with. if you use addresses like myaddress+te...@gmail.com ... I'm not sure - I don't have a quick way to test sending with this sort of address.
