Hi,
I am getting seriously hounded by my server provider, who is receiving complaints from ISPs that my server running Mailman is sending users spam messages. When looking into this further, I notice that these messages are mainly administrivia responses, and that all of them mostly come from non-list members.
Does anyone know any way of discarding messages to specific addresses (mainly requests addresses) where the member is not on the list? Obviously the subscription addresses I would like to leave as is for the moment.
I have also set all the moderation settings to discard for non-members as well to see this this improves matters.
Thanks. Andrew.

That will help, and also be sure to set respond_to_post_requests to No on the General Options admin page. Also, if your Mailman is 2.1.15 (or newer), you can set RESPONSE_INCLUDE_LEVEL = 0 in mm_cfg.py. # This controls how much of the original message is included in automatic # responses to email commands. The values are: # 0 - Do not include any unprocessed or ignored commands. Do not include # the original message. # 1 - Do not include any unprocessed or ignored commands. Include only the # headers from the original message. # 2 - Include unprocessed and ignored commands. Include the complete original # message. # -- Mark Sapiro <mark@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan
