hey
<a-l-e>
any admin around? i have an issue with two of my mailing lists on freedesktops: lots (lots!) of registration that i have to manually deleted.
<a-l-e>
is there anything that can be done? anybody i can get in touch with?
vbenes1 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<emersion>
a-l-e: can you elaborate on your issue?
<emersion>
someone subscribes on the ML, and confirms the subscription with many emails?
<emersion>
or is someone just spamming the ML?
<emersion>
what is the ML, what does the emails look like, etc
<a-l-e>
yes, as an example on the Libre-graphics-meeting-local ML i get a couple of registration requests per minute...
<a-l-e>
i've just discarded 20'000 requests...
<a-l-e>
Libre-graphics-meeting-org still has about 20000 requests open, if you want and can check.
<a-l-e>
this has been going on for about one year, but has gotten worse during the last few months.
<emersion>
your lists require moderator confirmation to subscribe
<emersion>
however they don't require a confirmation email
<emersion>
i'd suggest switching them to "confirm and approve"
<emersion>
that will make it so subscription requests first go through a confirmation email
<emersion>
then through admin approval
<emersion>
or just "confirm" if you're fine with no admin approval
<emersion>
the confirmation email should be enough to shut down most spammers
<a-l-e>
no, since we're under spam attack, i would not try to risk removing the approval : - )
<emersion>
well
<emersion>
the "attack" is not targeted
<a-l-e>
but asking a confirmation email might be a good workaround
<emersion>
it's just regular spam
<emersion>
fwiw for dri-devel we have just "confirm"
<a-l-e>
you mean that my other lists require a confirmation email? i need to check...
<a-l-e>
well, those two lists are not meant for people who are not active in the project, so i prefer to keep the approval anyway.
<emersion>
i mean that for a high-traffic/visibility list like dri-devel, we don';t manually approve each subscription
<emersion>
yet we have no issues
<emersion>
yeah, up to you
<emersion>
then, good luck getting rid of all of the queued subscription requests
<emersion>
maybe JS can help you tick all of these discard checkboxes
<a-l-e>
yes, i have a few lines of js to check all the discard boxes : - )
<emersion>
lol
<a-l-e>
when it started i've clicked to a few dozen boxes and then took a few minutes to write
<a-l-e>
var radios = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
<a-l-e>
for (var radio of radios) {
<a-l-e>
if (radio.type == 'radio') {
<a-l-e>
radio.checked = true;}
<a-l-e>
if (radio.value == 3) {
<a-l-e>
console.log(radio.value);
<a-l-e>
}
<a-l-e>
}
