[Bug 1706659] Re: subscribe address spam floods confirmation queue

[Mark Sapiro]

What exactly do you want to see?

My experience with this is the addresses in these mass subscriptions
match a pattern. Mailman now (since 2.1.21) has a GLOBAL_BAN_LIST
feature to block these once they have started and the pattern is
recognized.

To address those that have arrived prior to being banned, there is a
script at https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/erase (mirrored at
https://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/erase ) that is described by:

"Remove an address or all addresses matching a regexp from the
installation. I.e. for every list, if the address is a member, it is
removed. If there are any held posts or (un)subscription requests from
the address, they are removed too. Optionally, any subscription requests
from the address waiting user confirmation are also removed."

Is this the kind of tool you're looking for?

Note that if the only pending requests for a list are these, you can
just remove the pending.pck file. Mailman will create a new one when
needed.
