No one asked for stopping announcing the new releases. Having those automated reaction is of course a good thing ! I just said that making it more secure would prevent spammers. e.g. differentiate "people" from spammers. > > Now, with respect to these specific email messages: I agree they are > spam, and would support to see that stopped.

I don't think asking a spammer to stop spamming is the real solution. PyPI and the PSF should protect its pypi.python.org users as much as possible, here, and I still think it has to be addressed by making it harder for spammers to bother us. > Regards, > Martin > -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
