Chris Yeoh (among some others) recently pointed out some new UI improvements in the new version of mailman that would allow us to combine the features that everybody wants in a usable way. Our admin team will be working on integrating our local changes to mailman (if still needed) in with the new version, so in the not-so-distant future we'll see the new version go into action, and the amount of spam getting to the lists should be greatly reduced. We'll be able to: - restrict posts to members, except when approved - whitelist non-subscribers - block more spam We'll also be checking that the latest SA release is being run on digital. We are reluctant to use too much of the learning and blacklisting features of SA due to the extra load and latency this would introduce. Please remember that real human time does need to be spent before this is implemented - so give our team some time. Hopefully the spam will decrease. thanks to Chris and others for their contribution - it's really appreciated. -- Stewart Smith (stewart@linux.org.au) Vice President, Linux Australia
