sure, but: - [philosopical] rejecting legitimate mail isn't the answer - [practical] a mailing list that makes it hard to unsubscribe is no different than a spammer that doesn't implement opt-out. an ML can reject mail from someone, but can't continue to send him email if he wants to stop. > It's not our call alone -- it's up to the ASF infrastructure volunteers. > We can *ask* them nicely, but considering we get it for free, it's > their call. > This explains the situation but doesn't solve the problem. I am certain that a lot of people can host a mailing list for the popular spamassassin. otherwise, we have a real problem: - people can subscribe - mail may be rejected for unreliable reasons - people can't even unsubscribe or am I to understand that "volunteer=open source=unreliable"???? fortunately not. a single example is the dspam ML. it doesn't reject "sorbs slaves";-p
