Why wouldn't you simply disable posting for non-members of the list?
the spam uses email' addys of people who are subscribed to the list :)
Ah, I see, I'm sorry for misidentifying the problem. Well, then defer
anything except the autogenerated messages by svn.rpmforge.net (local
traffic) sounds like a good idea to me. Please please do :-)
I'd really like to watch the commits lists, but I'm already getting too
much spam for my Bayesian filter to cope with.
First i don't know much about mailman, i've just been searching in
their FAQs and docs :-)
Please have a look at
http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030685 (the
paragraph "How to post to the announcement list:") and maybe also
http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030556
I guess we could use this for the svn-commits list: no one is allowed
to post to this list (everyone gets moderated) and we change the
hooks/commit-email.pl of the subversion repository so it adds this
'Approved:' header with a password. The drawbacks: the script needs to
contain the mailman password and if you want to reply to an svn commit
mail, then you'll have to forward this to the packagers list.
What do you think?
Karanbir: you think we could use such a solution on the mailman server?
Dries hinted this message to me and I have implemented this.
I also implemented svn-mailer with proper From-addresses, set up viewvc
(as it used to be) and recreated the svn-commits archive after I removed
all the SPAM.
So now we get proper commits coming from the commiter, if you reply you
put the packagers-list and the original commiter in copy. The commits now
include a URL to ViewVC. Exactly how I configure it for my customers.
