On baloo, we still have the mlmmj setup - to reject non-subscribers, a list needs a control file called 'subonlypost'.
IIRC before the switch, non-member mails were not rejected, but went to the moderation queue.
Yes, that is correct. That is also the setting that was migrated to mailman. Except .... well, I'm confused. Yes, in my email inbox, I see moderation requests for postings to opensuse-factory from non-subscribers. In e.g. October 2020. Okay, well, I'll change the setting in mailman again. Never mind that I don't understand.
Having it wide-open to spam from the world is probably not a good idea.
Three points - a) they are not wide open, we run spamassassin on everything. b) I agree, I also think subscriber-only lists is the best way. c) as my predecessor pointed out in 2015 -
That moderation can take potentially a very long time, so better subscribe to the list you're posting to.
Currently, "a very long time" is something like 4-5-6 weeks. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.3°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
