Editor mailing list filled with spam
Hello, As I've been catching up on the latest XMPP developments, I noticed that the editor mailing list is experiencing a significant influx of spam. You can see the extent of the issue here: https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/editor@xmpp.org/ Not sure what can be done to clean and filter that spam more efficiently, but the list is probably not veryt useful as is. On a different note, I wanted to share that I quite like the Hyperkitty tool. I've been using it to browse emails from the web interface, and I found it very simple (and I am writing this email from it). I hope this helps, Kind regard, -- Mickaël Rémond
Even worse, there appear to be several outstanding invoices. On Thu, 8 Feb 2024 at 14:47, Mickaël Rémond <mremond@process-one.net> wrote:

Thanks, you're right. We used to have a filter that only accepted mail with 'XEP' in the title, but that seems to have been lost with the migration. Hopefully the new version of mailman still supports such functionality... Regards, Matthew

It does and I can change the list configuration. Also, there are only two people (me and Kev) on the list - presumably a bunch of folks got dropped during the big mailman outage. Do we even need the list? Peter

I think there's value both in using it as a spam filter with the mentioned rule, and then having the archive available for when Editor changes hands, or to confirm that something wasn't dropped, etc. Not a hill for me to die on, but as long as there's an Editor I'd rather it was kept than dropped. /K

I've just fixed up the config and will send a few test messages. Peter
