spambots have found the list - lock it down?
Can the typing-sig list owners lock the list down to not allow non-subscribers to post? and if those spambots were subscribed, require moderation for the first couple posts from new members? (I don't know what options mailman3 provides or who owns the list - it won't tell me :) -Greg
Yes. I am (the? an?) owner and this is probably my fault, previously I had set subscriptions to moderation, and when I opened those, this happened. I've now made messages to the list moderated. I will be as quick as I can accepting messages. Hopefully there's a feature to tell Mailman3 "and allow future messages by this member". (I could also switch back to moderated subscriptions, but I don't know how I would recognize spammers, so I don't know it would be effective.) On Wed, Nov 6, 2019 at 12:04 PM Gregory P.

What we have done on python-ideas is set every new subscriber to "moderated" and on initial post we check the email and if it looks reasonable we approve the message and turn off the person's moderation bit. So the overhead is only the first email from new subscribers.
