[Samuel Klein]

This is being discussed in detail on listadmins@wikimedia -- all list
admins should consider joining that v. low-traffic list.

I hope we can find a solution other than banning the entire aol network...
We should let aol know as well.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] How to deal with spam subscription to mailing list

[Sam Walton]

I take it back, we're now having the same issue with the Wikipedia-Library
mailing list, and the edit filter mailing list spam has resumed. Is this
happening on every list?

[Wikimedia-l] How to deal with spam subscription to mailing list

[Isaac Olatunde]

Hi all,

We have been receiving tens of subscription to our mailing list (
wikimedia...@lists.wikimedia.org) from aol.com addresses. Today alone we
have received over 30 subscription from that domain addresses and we find
this very problematic. I'll need the help of a more experienced list
administrators in dealing with this.

Thank you,

Isaac
