We have a problem with SPAM on the BLFS lists. I am proposing that we
'close' the lists to non-subscribed members. The main issue is that
list members who post from multiple email accounts will have to
subscribe for each account.
Non-member email would go to /dev/null
Before I do this, I am soliciting comments to see if there is anything
I'm overlooking or any reason not to restrict the BLFS lists.
Comments?
Please don't do this. It creates a hostile, insular impression if a
mailing list is closed to people who aren't subscribed.
There has to be a better way. I hardly notice the spam on the lists
because Thunderbird is very effective at filtering it out. It does make
mistakes occasionally but I can't remember the last time it did. Isn't
there some sort of bayesian filter that can be used to filter the lists?
