Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Samuel Tardieu (samtardieu) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Post confirmation + moderation Initial Comment: The following scheme (implemented by me for Sympa as a scenario some time ago) leads to a spam-free mailing-list with almost no work from the moderator. When a mail arrive and should be held for any reason (sender not in subscriber list, list not in to: or cc:, too many recipients), ask the alleged sender to confirm its post then hold it for moderation when the sender confirms its intention to post. This way, spam (whose confirmation request will almost never be answered) is not presented to the moderators, while mail sent by humans will. It would be great to have this feature in mailman. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: James Andrewartha (watha) Date: 2006-11-13 10:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=460267 http://viewmtn.angrygoats.net/revision/diff/dfedaca2816739f4f052d21247f6877f5ee39905/with/c6835f6646f467e9a012823b0817e17e152f9811 has an implementation for this, although there's a few other features mixed into the diff as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Lucas Nussbaum (lnu) Date: 2006-11-11 18:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=527142 Also, this could be implemented in a greylist-like way: the sender would have to confirm his first post, and then, its mails would get auto-accepted for a few hours/days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Lucas Nussbaum (lnu) Date: 2006-11-11 18:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=527142 Hi, This feature would really be great to have in mailman. Additionnally, a web-based confirmation interface could be added, with an image-based confirmation, to prevent robots from auto-confirming their posts. Is it planned ? I'm a bit concerned by the fact that this feature request was posted more than 3 years ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=673265&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-coders mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-coders
