Hi Magnus.
I've changed the email address on the AUR account to a private one again. Not because of the flooding but because using the mailing list address would allow pretty much anyone to reset the password on the AUR account via the "Forgot Password" link.
Good catch. :-)
I wonder whether there is anything we can do to remedy that problem? I reckon the mailing software has some kind of regex-based filtering mechanism? Would it be possible to let all e-mails pass that match a fairly strict "this is a comment" expression? All other e-mails that don't match this regex would go to the moderator. That should catch the "Forgot Password" emails reliably, but everything else would go through without delay.
That could be possible, but I'd need to do a bit of testing to make sure that works :-)
In any case, what happens to e-mails that the list won't accept? Are they in some kind of moderator queue?
Yes, currently they are caught in a moderator queue. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
