Hi everyone,

• Aanand Shekhar Roy <2013001@iiitdmj.ac.in>:

...

Hi all, I am currently finding good plugin ideas that might make there way into mailman 3 system.I had discussed the same with @terri on irc.Some ideas i have already found good are:

1. DNS BlockList

where would you put DNSBL support?

On SMTP level? I'd let the MTA take care of it. On HTTP level? I'd let the HTTP take care of it.

1. I totally agree with you that DNSBL suits better in MTA, my interest on bulding it as a plugin is for the reason that a user might want to block a particular domain not because it is a spam but due to reasons better known and genuine to him or her.To let let them do that with ease without worrying about shell access and other complexities.

Sorry, if I sound harsh. I don't mean it. I just can't imagine where DNSBL would make sense without reinventing something that has been done yet.

...

3. SpamAsassin as it is

I'd leave that to an MTA too, unless there's a non-SMTP way how mail enters mailman.

p@rick

Spamassasin is better placed in the MTA support and works quite more effieciently but again for the ease of acces for some list admins who want to keep there spam level threshold low or high according to their needs may find it difficult to regulate it without an easy available chunk in user interface.Also option for marking a domain spam (I am not sure but as far as my knowledge about it is ,it isn't there yet in mailman3) might be a good idea

2. Confirmation from user before posting phone nos in email

I am going through the archives of user-list to gain more insight on this topic.This one by far sounds the most interesting.Also,as suggested by Stephen J. Turnbull,i am thinking of extending it further to other confidential Thanks everyone for correcting me.I have also thought of a few more ideas, reading about them before discussing them here. Aiming towards more improvement in these ideas..
