Why can you say so?
CER> Hiperkitty is intentional.
As far as I know, only alsa-devel ML allows posting emails via HyperKitty (but, alsa-user ML does not permit).
So why international?

Why can you say so?, again.
Dave's question is quite reasonable.
That is, openSUSE will forward any postings from users registered in the ML network with the X-MailFrom: address of the registered submitter, rewriting the sender address to indicate the legitimate bounce destination of the mail.
In contrast, for submissions from HyperKitty, openSUSE just forward them, with no guarantees attached, and the spammers just use this mechanism.
Isn't this method of operation unresonable?
Are there any openSUSE specific circumstances that allow submissions from HyperKitty, I wonder?
It was thought that it would ease newcommers to post on the mail lists. Ease the barriers. And this is true. It is also a feature of the version of mailman that was used. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
