[Mailman-Users] Just drop it?
One of my moderators asked me for help. She runs a moderated list, and only wants her messages to go to the list. We've done that. What is bothering her now is she gets a note every time a spammer tries to hit this list. She doesn't want to know about it, and she doesn't want to have to manually discard every one of the spam attempts. She wants Mailman to just drop the message into a black hole, without telling anyone it happened. I don't see a way to do that am I overlooking something?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Just drop it?
Hi Mike, I believe you can specify to *not* send mail to the moderator when receiving a message to the list that would require approval. That will at least help her mailbox... but it will still queue the messages in the admin interface. ::sigh:: As far as silently discarding the messages, well, that seems to be a very popular question. :-) I don't think Mailman itself has any way to deal with that... next solution I suppose would be something in the MTA or something between the MTA and mailman, which would bitbucket mail unless it came from the moderator's email address. ::shrug:: There are probably a number of ways to do it, but it's going to be a matter of how much effort you want to put into it. =) Amanda Mike Avery wrote: One of my moderators asked me for help.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Just drop it?
One can do a very small amount of hacking to Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.py and accomplish the drop without further notice action. It's been useful for spammers for me. Basically, you just add to the list in the file; the comments are pretty readable; take a look and see what you think.
