Hi Terri & others
I am Sreyantha Chary (you can call me Sreyanth), a current MBA student at IIM Ahmedabad. I have been a GSoC student for the past 2 years and would like to hack on Mailman this year.
I am interested in implementing the *anonymous *users feature and dashboards for admins/owners/mods
I have a few questions in mind about the anonymous users feature.
- Lets say a user A sends an email and it gets disguised as <foo>@<bar>. Should the user B who sends another anon email gets disguised as <foo>@<bar>? If that's the case, how would we get to know who is replying, A or B? This might create unnecessary chaos, don't you think?
- How do we store the email mapping? The email identifier mapped to the user's email or list's subscriber id for that user? Are we looking at implementing an encryption/decryption algorithm here for additional security?
Let me know your thoughts. Looking forward to hack on Mailman this summer.
Thanks sreyanth
