Re: [Meta] Moderation request diversion?

[Jeff Evans <je...@gmail.com>]

Still noticing this problem quite a bit, both on the user and dev lists.  I
notice that it appears to be using ezmlm as the software.  Is there any
chance the list owner (someone at Databricks?) can take a look at
restricting messages based on seeing the word "Unsubscribe" in the
subject?  It appears to be possible; see:

The mailing lists are operated by the ASF. I've asked whether it's
possible here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20186
