An edited 'grep' output showing the modules that put mailto links on
Mailman's web pages is
Archiver/HyperArch.py:# Point the mailto url back to
the list
Archiver/HyperArch.py:URL = 'mailto:' + text
Cgi/admin.py:Link('mailto:%s' % mailman_owner, mailman_owner),
Cgi/listinfo.py: Link('mailto:' + siteowner, siteowner),
HTMLFormatter.py:owner_link = Link('mailto:' +
self.GetOwnerEmail(), ownertext).Format()
HTMLFormatter.py:mailto = Link('mailto:' +
self.GetOwnerEmail(),
HTMLFormatter.py:%(link)s option below. Contact %(mailto)s
if you have any
There are also mailto links in the HTML templates article.html and
listinfo.html.

[Mailman-Users] minimizing spam addresses on web site
A couple days ago I saw a post on the dev list about backscatter spam and also found a thread about someone's attempt at changing the -owner address, that didn't appear to be successful. That and the further problem newly created address for the mailman-owner getting 200 spam a day tells me I need to do something about this mess. I would like to replace all mailto: links to a http://mailhide.recaptcha.netURL. I changed the listinfo page on a test list, but changing it throughout a list's pages isn't as trivial. It appears that part of the footer code is def GetMailmanFooter in Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py. I have very little experience hacking python and could really use some help getting this to work. Besides I think this could be useful for lots of others who are sick of the deluge of spam. Any suggestions?

Use some kind of anti-spam on your MTA to deal with this problem... it is very sub-optimal to try to deal with it at the mailman level. -- Best regards, Charles -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

A wiki page was started with info on how to control backscatter. Feel free to add to it. http://wiki.list.org/display/SEC/Controlling+spam I would like to replace all mailto: links to a http://mailhide.recaptcha.netURL. I changed the listinfo page on a test list, but changing it throughout a list's pages isn't as trivial. It appears that part of the footer code is def GetMailmanFooter in Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py. I hadn't thought of mailto's in the web pages. As more info on this is developed, please add to the wiki.
