Re: [Mailman-Users] Disable auto-responder for some From adresses

Can I ask a follow-up question. Excuse me if this was on the list before; I don't recall seeing it in my glance at the digests...
Are you by chance getting spammed by subscription requests from a few select IP's? Maybe trying to subscribe the same email-to-text address in each flood of attempts? This is happening to us over the last couple days. I'm not sure if they're trying to spam the poor person with that phone/text number or if they're trying to hack into our mailman or collect addresses. It's quite annoying, though.
Perhaps the answer is captcha, however I see that as being frowned upon in the list archives.
So, is anyone else getting hit by a bunch of requests lately? And I'll look forward to any solutions to Larry's request. :-)
thank you

Is there a way to do any of the following from the command line, perhaps with a script?
Find which lists have pending subscription requests
(preferably showing the pending subscriber's email address)
Delete the pending subscription requests (preferably a
specified address)

As I said in another reply (somehow, what with being on airplanes all day, I missed this post first time around),
Anyway, if you are geqtting spammed with web subscribes, see the mm_cfg.py setting SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET implemented in 2.1.16 and the related SUBSCRIBE_FORM_MIN_TIME setting and the bug report at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1082746>.
