Hi all, I got a random email from Art McGee, suggesting that I remove access to the archive@mail-archive.com archive - this is where "subscribe confirmation" messages go from list servers such as Mailman.
The theory is, we'd potentially eliminate an abuse path. (i.e. someone accidentally or maliciously subscribes a private list to the service) For lists with subscribe confirmation notices, it just wouldn't work. Only a list admin capable of bypassing the confirmation feature would be able to use mail-archive in that case. The question is, in practice, would such a change affect legitimate users? There aren't very many abuse cases as far as I'm aware, so I want to see what the impact would be on regular service users. How many of you would such a change have caused difficulty for? I see plenty of confirmation messages, so I'm a little worried about the impact. Consider this a survey. -Jeff As a reminder, we are talking about this: http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#newlist _______________________________________________ Gossip mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
