We have had a lot of spams sent directly to our list members (i.e. not sent via mailman). All of them have subject headings taken from list emails already sent out genuinely via mailman. Almost all have our specific list prefix (but interesting not every one). Has anyone else had this recently (

Thanks but we have the newsgroup because some members, albeit a few, prefer a newsgroup interface. They would definitely not want to use the newsgroup to read and then have to use email to post. I am experimenting with the mailman option 'List of non-member addresses whose postings will be imm

[Mailman-Users] Control of newsgroup posters

2008-04-06 Thread David Beaumont
Is there a simple way to control newsgroup posters? We interface our mailman list to a newsgroup. We find that not only do people who post via the newsgroup NOT have to subscribe to our email list, we also cannot hold their posts for moderation. We would like the opposite of both of these. Than

We need to forward moderated emails from one list to another more appropriate list. However they always arrive munged up, losing the originators email address and with the text as an attachment. I.e. looking pretty crap. This must be a common requirement however I can't find anything in the FAQ

Very occasionally spam has been sent to the newsgroup which our mailman list interfaces with. The spam has then been uploaded to the email list and sent out. This can only get worse. We never get spam on our mailing list normally because you have to be a member to email to it. Of course there is
