Email Moderation
Larry,
It looks like you've been helping out with the email moderation on a
regular basis. Thanks so much!
The message the server sends back when a message is handled is vague,
and I was just wondering if you are "accepting" valid posts, or
"rejecting" them with a message.
I usually reject otherwise valid posts with this message:
----
%%% Start comment
Please subscribe to the mailing list before posting.
* http://ibatis.apache.org/mailinglists.html
(Are you subscribed under another account?)
%%% End comment
-----
So that people can sort things out on their end.
-Ted.

I'm an admin of a few different mailing lists for clubs at my school and
people without filters on their end were getting lots of spam (I never
noticed). When I turned on automatic rejection of posts from
non-subscribers, it totally fixed the problem.
Just my experience.

Why don't we just not allow posting from addresses that are not subscribed?

We tweak the SpamAssassin settings regularly, but I don't think
there's anything built into MailMan right now.

Oh, OK, I was accepting valid posts and ignoring or rejecting invalid
ones (i.e., the "get a bigger unit/lower mortgage/free M$ software"
ones).
I will start rejecting all, and adding the comment you suggested for
VALID posts.
BTW, is there a way to report spam/phishing when you reject a request?
