Hello, List is running on Mailman version 2.1.20. Last several days began receiving hundreds of bot subscription requests (all gmail addresses).
All of format like: blech+12345...@gmail.com zark+98765...@gmail.com etc. I entered following regex lines in Privacy Options -> Subscription Rules -> ban_list ^.*blech ^.*zark etc Temporarily did the job, but the bot adapted and changed the prefix of the address string to: crap+12345...@gmail.com grum+98765...@gmail.com etc. Unable to keep up with the bots changing the address prefix. Common to ALL of the bot subscribe requests is including the "+" symbol in the email address So I tried entering RegExp ^.*+ but Mailman rejected this entry. But was able to enter RegExp of ^.*/+ However that allowed all the bot spam requests through. Can anyone recommend an example of a RegExp entry which would solve my dilemma? Note: Unfortunately I do not have access to the server so unable to configure SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET Thanks for any ideas. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://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: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
