Hi Folks, A couple of days ago, over on the MAILOP mailinglist, there was a long thread titled 'Mailman confirmation email denial of service'. This detailed some of the problems we've all seen with Mailman subscription spam. The Mailman team has addressed a lot of these problems with ReCAPTCHA support and additional configuration options. Arguably the best solution has been the ReCAPTCHA integration. BUT, a lot of people don't like the Google tie-ins that come with ReCAPTCHA.
Recently, a kind person submitted a patch [1] to Mailman for hCAPTCHA an alternative to ReCAPTCHA. In the discussion of that patch, Mark has stated that he is not interested in any more features for Mailman 2.x. I think that is fine, Mark has given decades of this time to Mailman and I think it's perfectly natural for him to want to move on. He deserves a lot of credit for Mailman's success, both the 2.x and 3.x branches. So, I have volunteered to spearhead an effort to add one or two more people to the Mailman Coders group[2] in order to vet and approve new features that continue the long tradition of providing value to Mailman 2.x. Who's with me on this? 1. https://code.launchpad.net/~jks/mailman/hcaptcha/+merge/389691 2. https://launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/+members#active ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/
