[Bluez-devel] aaaaaargh spam

[Mike Hodson]

Is there any way sourceforge can curtail all this bloody spam on the list?

Also, I've been a tad busy but I'll try getting my headset re-paired tonight.

Cue the 5th (or so) discussion about this topic in just a few short months.  
Usually the direction these threads take is toward list posting being closed 
so only list subscribers can post to the list.  Hasn't happened yet though.

to make this clear once and for all. Write to the Sourceforge guys and
complain about the spam. I have no way to add spam filters to the
mailing list.

The bluez-users mailing list is now closed for subscribers, but for
bluez-devel this is not an option. This mailing list is listed in the
MAINTAINERS file of the Linux kernel and meant to be an open mailing
list.

Regards

Marcel

And I did just that, submitted a "excessive spam" support ticket to
their support system. We'll see if anything comes of it ...

And, I'm still planning to re-test my spider with the newest build,
but I've been busy :)

At the risk of promising more than I can deliver, the list runs on 
Mailman.  I run that on my server.  I'll take a look at the code and see 
if there's a way to trap on certain patterns in the spam posts that come 
through.  I've been deleting them but I'll start saving them and see 
what kind of patterns can be discerned.  Maybe we can catch at least 
some of what comes through.

I'm not a mailman expert, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a "confirm your 
post if you're a nonsubscriber" option somewhere...

the whole point is to have this mailing list open, because non-BlueZ
people will forward kernel related stuff. It will stay open.

Can't you appoint a moderator for unsubscribed posts, if this is GNU
Mailman?  I'm looking over the software's feature list, and it looks
like that's the best solution at this time if we can't close the list
to subscribers (even though subscribing is free and verified)
