Mailman 3 January 2004 - Edu-sig

Non-member posts now held for approval

Hi everyone, I've just changed the edu-sig list behavior so that all posts from non-subscribers will be held for approval instead of sent out right away. If you have been posting to edu-sig from an account other than the one you subscribed from, your posts will no longer go through. We may find in the coming days or weeks that the configuration will need to be modified. I will be happy to address concerns as they come up. Please pardon the interruption and carry on with your business. :-) -Tim -- Tim Wilson Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Educational technology guy, Linux and OS X fan, Grad. student, Daddy mailto: wilson(a)visi.com aim: tis270 public key: 0x8C0F8813

Solution to edu-sig spam
by Tim Wilson 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hi everyone, Kirby Urner and I are wondering if the time has come to restrict posting to the edu-sig list to list subscribers. This should cure 99.471% of the spam problem. We thought it wise to send out this notice and see if there are any strong reactions for or against this change. If the group consensus is for the restriction, I will go in and "flip the switch." -Tim -- Tim Wilson Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Educational technology guy, Linux and OS X fan, Grad. student, Daddy mailto: wilson(a)visi.com aim: tis270 public key: 0x8C0F8813

I dont think there are many people who post that arent signed up. Though its ultimately up too you and whoever will be checking the mail. Just make sure you put some well known names on the white list. Thats my 2 cents at least. Conrad

It used to be that because my outgoing and incoming email addresses were different (I couldn't figure out how to get the smtp server to authenticate me with a different return address under my old mail client), I had to take the "sending" account, register it to the list, and then turn off delivery. That should still probably work for folks who prefer to read the archives, or to just send an occasional "Hey, saw this thing in a journal" post.

I wonder if all the python.org sig lists are getting so much spam. I'll raise the issue on pydotorg. Kirby

I guess this a test post to see if the flip has been switched :) Considering my posting volume it might be strange to know I am not a list member. I read the archives. There is no good reason for this, and I will simply join-up. And would like to see the spam cut-off. Since I already have sex 20 times a day, those messages are of no interest to me. Though my prowess is only exhibited on alternative days, and in an alternative universe. Art

spam on edu-sig
by Kirby Urner 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Hi Timothy -- Have you been following the thread re spam on python.org e-lists and what might be done about it, list-owner wise? Mostly on pydotorg but I copied one to edu-sig. If you need any help as a spam slayer, I hope you'll ask for it (my daughter and I have been watching 'Buffy' CDs from Netflix). Kirby
