Folks
You may recall over the weekend I was lamenting the fact that my lists are
getting spammed with with replies going back to somewhere (and being
determined as spam by some of the over zealous spam detectors).
So Paul Tomblin, suggested setting the system to discard the messages, and
for the most part that really did the trick..
Well, I am still getting some more, and I know why and hence this question
and comments
I used to run 3 of the lists on a separate RH 7.3 box that also hosted
another sub-domained system connecting via UUCP Yep UUCP
And that system was getting some much spam that I moved the mailling lists
to my main system and a new virtual hosted domain
And subsequently moved the offending spam related subdomained system to my
main system. (So that is has to macch a user name in liue of just passing
thru the system) With me so far ?? I am not.
The lists that are getting the bogus messages have new domain names, but
spammers are sending spam to the lists using the old domain. And hence
failing.
The list name that I am tinkering with is [EMAIL PROTECTED], but it used
to be [EMAIL PROTECTED], railnet.org and nshore.org are now virtual hosted
on my system.
So, is this "legal" in the sense of Mailman on the "General options page
Example
host_name (general): Host name this list prefers for email. Railnet.org
To also add nshore.org so that both valid domain names are there.
host_name (general): Host name this list prefers for email. Railnet.org,
nshore.org
Rrdiana.railnet.org is valid, but rrdiana.nshore.org is also valid to a
point, but.. ???
THANKS
Dave
