Subscription requirement? (was: New Install won't run after server reboot)

Hello,

This recurring scenario of manually requesting someone to subscribe to a
mailing list is somewhat absurd...

Either an email sent to <us...@ofbiz.apache.org> by a non-subscriber
should be automatically rejected with an automatic response telling that
subscription is required.  Either we should drop the manual moderation
process and replace it with somekind of quarantine only for first time
email.  This would be a more friendly option for people foreign to the
OFBiz community.

The quarantine process is what is currently used by GNU mailing lists
(managed with Mailman) and is quite effective to avoid SPAM.  Does
anyone know if OFBiz mailing list could be configured with such option?

Thanks.

Hi Mathieu,

MLs  are not handled at the OFBiz level but at the ASF level. So if you want this to happen you should discuss with the ASF Infra Team.

http://www.apache.org/dev/infra-contact
https://www.apache.org/dev/infrastructure.html
https://www.apache.org/dev/infra-mail

BTW the ASF use EZML not Mailman https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/INFRA/Roadmap

If you need you can be a guest at https://apache.hipchat.com/chat/room/669587 (I can invite you if needed)
