Package: lists.debian.org Version: N/A reported 2006-02-22 Priority: wishlist
Please, make the debian-doc mailing list open only to subscribers. The amount of spam there vs. posting from regular users, is very high. For example, january this year, there were 23 spam emails and 45 valid: http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2006/01/index.html In February this year (although it did not end yet) there have been 10 relevant e-mails out of 43! Even though some of the postings might come from unsubscribed users, I think many developers would gladly accept becoming moderators of the mailings of unsubscribed users. Debian-doc does receive automatic mails from some non-subscribed addresses (like the DDP CVS commit e-mails) so having a white list for some addresses would be good too. I rather reject posts to the mailing list myself than manually reviewing the web archives and reporting as spam tons of messages. I believe other subscribed of debian-doc (in CC:) would agree with me and cooperate in moderating non subscriber posts. Thanks Javier
