Hi,

To clarify, I did get off Microsoft's blacklist, but after I did I decided that particular list was probably too high traffic.

Are they subscribing via the listinfo page? If so then you can edit that page via the list admin interface and remove the subscription form.

Also getting off of Microsoft's blacklist is not hard to do. It certainly would have been easier than all the trouble you are going through now.

Have a great day!

Hi,

For years I ran a Mailman list on my own server, until it obviously became too much of a load for certain ISPs to think I was sending legitimate Email. The final straw was when Microsoft blacklisted my IP from sending to all of their Email services (Hotmail, live.com, Outlook, etc.). I decided to move that heavy traffic list to groups.io. Still, I wanted there to be a placeholder at the list's old URL that would tell people the list has moved, and where to find it. For this reason, I created a new, empty, dummy list with the old list's name, and set subscriptions to require moderator approval. I have a Milter set up to block all inbound mail to the list's old addresses with a 551 failure message giving the URL of the new list. However, from time to time someone will subscribe via the web, so I still need to reject their subscriptions and point them to the new location. Is there any way in Mailman to outright disable any and all subscription attempts for a specific list?

Thanks,

Jayson
