[gentoo-dev] Gentoo email list posting changes

[Kevyn Shortell]

Hi Fellow Gentoo'ers

Due to the large amount of spam that has been hitting the gentoo lists as of 
late, all of the Gentoo mailing lists have been changed to subscriber only 
mode or are in the process of being changed.

What this means is, if your email account that you are sending to the lists is 
not subscribed to the list that you are posting to your email will be 
rejected and will not be posted to the list.

Messages rejected will be put on hold for moderator approval and may or may 
not be approved for posting depending on content. If this doesn't seem fair 
to you, I'd suggest subscribing to the list then =)

Thank you,

Is there actually some moderator now?

If this message arrives, then there are moderators. In fact I've already
had a message moderated. 
  But something I wonder with this new policy is: "does it still makes
sense to appear on "gmame" (a NNTP interface to various mailing list)?" 
I consult the list on gmame, because it is easier for doing it at home
and at work, but if I can't post anymore without disturbing moderators,
I will surely subscribe. And I think I'm not alone in that case, so
maybe gmame is obsolete now.

I was using gmane, but I've now subscribed to the mailing lists instead
to get around this. Fortunately, the reasons I wanted NNTP access to the
list no longer apply to me, so this is not a problem for me. However, if
post only subscriptions can be sorted (something I understand is being
looked into) it would allow people to set up full access through gmane.

No, only for posts to non-members.  Then it sits in the queue waiting for
the person at gentoo-dev-admin@gentoo.org (or for whatever list) to decide
what to do with the posting.

Excellent!  Does that we can have munging back, so we only have to hit 
"Reply" to reply to the list?

well, since the munging fixed the problem of full mail boxes spamming the 
list, and those mailboxes (and IIRC the sender of the resulting bounce 
messages) are subscribed to the list, I don't think going to a 
subscriber-only mailing list would prevent that problem for returning if they 
turn munging back off.

Can we have alternate accounts added (manually) as "always accept".  I for
the most part always post fromt the same address, but members of my mailing
list have a couple of cases where I have overridden that restriction for
them.

Hi Fellow Gentoo'ers

Due to the large amount of spam that has been hitting the gentoo lists as of
late, all of the Gentoo mailing lists have been changed to subscriber only
mode or are in the process of being changed.

What this means is, if your email account that you are sending to the lists

not subscribed to the list that you are posting to your email will be
rejected and will not be posted to the list.

Messages rejected will be put on hold for moderator approval and may or may
