Typically we are looking at accounts that have never sent an email sending many (>10) identical emails, often to the same user. While I suppose a successful bureaucrat candidate might receive several messages just saying "Congratulations", in general they will be from different users over a period of days. So a day-zero (i.e. the first time an account sends email) throttle of half a dozen emails seems a fairly good starting point. That is only 36 per IP per day, and the IP would be blocked by day two if it were static, and its socks hoovered up. Smartness can be added if someone is a known target, say they can only receive 1 per day per sender. After mail number 1 genuine people can use standard email. We can store an anonymous hash of the message to cut down on identical spammage/mailbombs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
