spam to the dev mailing list

Team,

As a moderator I'm getting tons of spam emails to dev@nifi.  I cannot
keep up with rejections and am not sure if that means they'll leak
through.  I'm not quite sure how to go about getting it address so if
some come through my apologies.

About to make a NiFi spam bot!

Joe

Thanks Alex,
I think Joe was just saying "the workflow for accepting/rejecting makes
mistakes possible, I'm sorry if it breaks down". We both moderate via email
(not sure if there is another way) and this is a problem where adding
people may increase the incidence of errors, because it is a distributed
process.

If another moderator is needed, I'm happy to volunteer. I may not write a
lot of code but I know spam when I see it.

+1000x to Tony's comment.  I have this very same thread going with
infra@apache too.  We get some good emails that require moderation and
I don't want to miss those.  But I woke up to a few dozen crap emails
to kill.

Sean, some of the challenge is not all email clients allow someone to tear
through emails quickly

or is this kind of an open issue?

Yes, of course. I meant to address Joe's initial concern that by not
keeping up with incoming messages spam might leak through.

Sean,
The challenging bit is not missing a legit message among the spam.

FWIW, the mailing list FAQ[1] says that any messages moderators don't
respond to are treated as spam and silently dropped after 5 days. By
actively rejecting you send a notice message back to the sender.

Some are (like me). The process of reject/accept is challenging to
coordinate.

That is indeed how it works.  However those items go to moderators to
handle.  This allows folks who might not know about registration or care to
get the emails still be able to communicate.

How about auto-rejecting emails from all unregistered senders, since one must register before sending email this group anyway?

Spammers won't take time to register.
