On the screen size I had at the time they appeared, the List-* headers caused me to have to scroll to see the useful part of any mailing list message longer than a couple of lines.

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman aliases
Thanks, Mark. That seemed too obvious. Doesn't setting generic_nonmember_action to accept result in a lot of spam to the Mailman site admin? How are others dealing with this?

Christopher Adams wrote: >Thanks, Mark. That seemed too obvious. Doesn't setting >generic_nonmember_action to accept result in a lot of spam to the >Mailman site admin? How are others dealing with this? First, let me say that if your listinfo overview page says "If you are having trouble using the lists, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]", you should actually look at that mail. Unfortunately, changing the overview pages to not say that requires patching Mailman code so it isn't always feasable to remove the message. This will change in some future release, but that doesn't help the immediate situation. You can do other things with the list settings, but setting the list to reject or discard non-member posts is not right IMO. Setting the list to hold non-member posts is OK, but then the list admin or moderator has to deal with them anyway, so why not just accept them, at least if the person who receives them from the list is the same person who has to deal with them if they're held. You can also set some header_filter_rules to try to discard some spam if you can identify it that way. The first step though is to have some kind of spam filtering and/or greylisting on incoming mail so as little spam as possible even gets to Mailman in the first place. That's what I do for my lists and the list admins have to deal with the rest. And yes, I still spend an inordinate amount of time checking spam at least cursorily for legitimate messages. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
