It could be avoided by requiring a valid PGP signature* before sending to the list. Easy for mediawiki-announce, not so much for a list like mediawiki-l, where signed mail is the exception. Maybe a spf check would be enough for non-signed mail. If spam really break into mailing lists, then finally spammers will solve that old problem by forcing signed mail on everyone. * Not any signature, but the one given for that email at subscription, obviously. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
