You have no idea *how much* spam is blocked by the work of the list masters. But it's not that anybody monitors all of the almost 300 Debian lists¹ with thousands of posts each day. > I see these types of things come through periodically -- and 1 delete on the > front end could prevent a lot of woe. Your help is appreciated: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ListMaster/ListArchiveSpam Obviously, this only affects the archive after all subscribers already received the spam message. Moderating all Debian lists is not a job that anybody wants to do (and it wouldn't even be appreciated). > *Even more so* -- it seems like unauthorized users can email this list? > > Why not just restrict it to people who have subscribed? Because this excludes use cases that are deemed valid by the list masters. J. -- I wish I had been aware enough to enjoy my time as a toddler.
