Moderators or list-masters, please tighten up the new-members process to block these spammers.
They have been trying to come up with a solution. The problem is that the spammers are using the HyperKitty web interface to the mailing lists, along with throwaway email addresses. It's a whack-a-mole situation.
That's why I suggested simply banning posting to this mail list via HyperKitty. Unless the moderators want to engage on a Sisyphean task.
I've seen quite a number of comments about the shortcomings of HyperKitty on various lists, not just about spammers.
yes, but problem is that others besides spammers utilize hyperkitty. so banning hyperkitty is not a solution.
No, the correct thing would be blocking using hyperkitty with google auth, which I don't know if it is possible. It may be hardcoded in the interface (mailman). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
