Even if you have had no spam problem to date, that can change at any time. Make sure you know how to impose emergency moderation if you get attacked by spammers. Expect it to happen to many lists at the same time, as the most likely vector is a virus caught by one of your members' PCs, which then adds all of the addresses (probably including several of the association's lists) in her book and saved mail folders to some spammer's list. I would strongly recommend filtering non-members on general principles, but YMMV. You know your situation best. If that advice doesn't scare you, then for each list Go to the Mailman interface, Privacy>Sender Filters and set default_member_moderation to Off, and generic_nonmember_action to Accept. Also look at Privacy>Recipient Filters. Then go to Membership Management, and make sure that the checkbox at the bottom of the page for "Set everyone's moderation bit" is set to Off. (This is also called the "emergency moderation flag".) Now you should go through the membership lists and make sure individual members are not moderated. (If the setting of default_member_moderation was On at any time, members who joined then will have the moderation flag set, even if you never explicitly moderated anyone.) Finally, you might want to add some spam filters to the system. This is outside the scope of Mailman discussion, though. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
