This is invariably an ineffective approach, and is always rather poorly received by technical people (myself included). It's rendering a historical record less useful (if not totally useless) in a vain attempt to hide from people abusing the Internet. Please, don't break the usefulness of our archives in the hopes that doing so will keep you from getting spam (it won't, anyway). > Address mangling works fine for newsgroups, but the list manager > won't let me post unless it's from the address that signed up for > the list. Sure it will. Subscribe from the mangled address, turn delivery off for that address in the Mailman interface, and dump all email to that address into /dev/null. > So I'm afraid this has to be tackled at the list software end. No, it doesn't. And YOUR spam problem is very much not the list software's responsibility. Filter your own spam out, please. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
