i believe you're missing the point. the issue is not the volume of email, it's imposing the burden on someone *else*. there are several people who are moderators for that list. adding another moderator won't keep the existing ones from having to wade through all the spam filling their inboxes -- it will just add one more person with the same amount of spam in *its* inbox. i think the issue here is the violation of the principle of least astonishment -- namely, the restriction wasn't clearly enough documented (or possibly at all) so it caught henning by surprise. as for whether documenting it is a good idea, see the last section below. > Also, how about using modules for committers to explain such kind > of things as these above? please explain. >> and now that this has been discussed on a publicly archived list, >> it will probably have to made even more stringent, such as >> requiring the mail be sent from your account on one of the asf >> machines or something. > > -1 i don't think it's really subject to vote here. if anywhere, it would be the moderators and the infrastructure people. and my point is that now this is a publicly known algorithm, spammers may spoof mail as coming from @apache.org in order to get into the moderation queue. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
