Does anyone here know what actually goes to Mailman from Gmane ?
(1) Is it simply an email, with Gmane as the sender ? With no mention
of the newsgroup poster in any of the headers ?
OR
(2) Is there anything contained in any of the headers from Gmane that
refers to the newsgroup poster ?
I know some of you unix guys are pretty smart. Has anyone been able to
see/grep these headers to see what they say please ?
The reason I ask is because couldn't I potentially block all posts
from Gmane ? Then in my Privacy options - accept_these_nonmembers
add the names of "authorised" subscribers ?
The "accept_these_nonmembers" in CPanel appears to allow regexp
filtering so the subscriber info could be anywhere in the "address".
[Also what exactly is the "address" Mailman is talking about here ?
The From: line ? Or all the headers ?]
Any comments on any/all of the above appreciated.
Regards, John.
