Yeah, I was trying to avoid that here too. TDMA is overkill for what I described. >> In the interest of preempting a flamewar, let me note here that >> challenge-response systems are a hot button for at least one of the >> frequent posters on this list, and it would be a good idea to review >> past threads and be prepared for those arguments. > > I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm pretty violently opposed to > TMDA in general. I am too for the most part, but I do see the need to periodically validate a poster's intention. I see lists all the time where people who never would post (receive only) mistakenly hit Reply-All and send personal comments to the whole list. This feature would be a good thing for *them* (I'm not solely looking at this from my perspective) >> There was another thread on mailman-developers about a month ago >> regarding the idea of weeding out unused addresses, although the >> policy proposed there was significantly more aggressive. > > I'm not sure I would be opposed to a feature where posts to a list > that result in moderation would require a confirmation before being > displayed in the moderation queue (thus eliminating most spam where the > sender's address is forged), but that's about as far as I would go. That would work too, although I would then want to be able to auto-mod posters who don't post frequently. ;-) -Jim P. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
