Hi Folks,
Is there a simple way to set up the defaults for any newly created
lists?
We've had a few cases recently where in the time between creating a
mass-populated
list and making it private it's been inundated with spam.
I'd like to change the defaults so newly-created lists are private and have
private archives, new members are moderated, etc., to give time for
the list to be set up completely before announcing it to the world.
Actually, I think the 'private-default' list style does almost all you
want except for new members moderated.
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/871 asks for that to be
changed, however the 'private-default' list style sets the subscription
policy to confirm then moderate so spammers can't subscribe and post
without their subscriptions being approved by a moderator.
You can implement a new list style to do exactly what you want. See
https://gitlab.com/mailman/example-mailman-plugin for information about
implementing a plugin to do that. Also see
https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/styles/docs/styles.html
for general information on list styles.
