Hello List admins,
The system hosting lists.wikimedia.org <http://lists.wikimedia.org/> will be rebooted shortly to apply a kernel security update. Security updates have also been applied to the exim software on this host.
During this reboot the mailman web interface will be briefly unavailable. Messages sent during this time will will be queued.
Please reach out if you experience any issue you believe to be related to this activity.
Best,
—Keith
Hi, there. I've just arrived from being overseas and my inboxes are in
complete chaos, so I may be ignoring something already discussed, but
I've just noticed that the wikimedia-co list has received several spam
e-mails apparently coming from other list addresses, some of them as an
answer for e-mails apparently sent FROM the wikimedia-co list itself.
As examples:
1. We got an email coming from wikimedia-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org
with this subject: [We] NF-e LQNIH793052 (Evelyn e Financeiro E R Ltda).
2. We got an e-mail from wikimedia-gh-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org with the
subject "Your message to Wikimedia-GH awaits moderator approval", saying
that apparently we sent them an e-mail with this subject: "[We] NF-e
LQNIH793052 (Evelyn e Financeiro E R Ltda)"
Does anyone else know about this? Any ideas on what's going on?
Oscar (Racso)
Dear colleagues,
I am writting to you all because I have doubts as to how to correctly
configure some variables on some mailing lists I administer.
1) Spam
As noted on <> I added "X-Spam-Score:[^+]*[+]{4,}"
at VARHELP=privacy/spam/header_filter_rules. Is that correct? I note that
the header format is like "X-Spam-Score: 6.7 (++++++)" with numbers and
curve brackets. Is that regex correct to match this?
2) Regex for filtering senders
We've got some email addresses from the same domain banned in
VARHELP=privacy/sender/discard_these_nonmembers. To avoid the list to grow,
I was thinking on using "^.*(a)banneddomain.com" but I'm not sure if that'd
work. Could you please advice me here?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards, M.
I do get your point. I've got the same problem with the CheckUser-l mailing list. Even though we removed the option to subscribe on our general information page[1] and we automatically reject emails from non-members, we still get dozens of spam via the -owner address. And I have no idea what we can do about it. There is no such option to block spam to -owner.

Onderwerp: Re: [List admins] Removed myself as owner of the pywikibot* mailman lists
You all seem to miss the point. The junk that got through was directed at the -owner addresses like pywikibot-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:pywikibot-owner@lists.wikimedia.org> not at the actual lists.

Hi everyone,
For quite some time I have been one of the people maintaining and
moderating the different Pywikibot mailman lists. Over time the amount
of junk (spam) coming in through the -owner addresses of these lists has
increased a lot. My impression is that the people in charge of
maintaining mailman are not doing enough to fight this kind of abuse.
I'm so annoyed by this I decided now is a good time to stop maintaining
mailman lists and spend my time on something more fulfilling.
Maarten

Hello,
As you can see from the headers below, 3 members from the French Arbcom,
including an administrator of the list, have been removed automatically
from the list. This seems to be due to the fact their email account is at
Yahoo. We never had the problem before. What do you advise us to do ?
Thanks in advance,
Racconish

Hi,
I my had this issue on my personal mailing lists, too.
My solution was to rewrite the From: in the header with a mailman config
option.
It works quite well. This is what the From: afterwards looks like:
From: "F. Benedix-Peter via Eltern-biber" <eltern-biber(a)monoro.de>
Reply-To: "F. Benedix-Peter" <frank(a)bx-peter.de>
I paste the config option and explaination below as it is in my config.

# Several protocols now in wide use attempt to ensure that use of the
# domain in the author's address (ie, in the From: header field) is
# authorized by that domain. These protocols may be incompatible with
# common list features such as footers, causing participating email
# services to bounce list traffic merely because of the address in the
# From: field. This has resulted in members being unsubscribed despite
# being perfectly able to receive mail.
# # The following actions are applied to all list messages when selected
# here. To apply these actions only to messages where the domain in the
# From: header is determined to use such a protocol, see the <a
# href="?VARHELP=privacy/sender/dmarc_moderation_action">
# dmarc_moderation_action settings under Privacy options... -> Sender
# filters. Settings:
# # No Do nothing special. This is appropriate for anonymous lists. It is
# appropriate for dedicated announcement lists, unless the From: address
# of authorized posters might be in a domain with a DMARC or similar
# policy. It is also appropriate if you choose to use
# dmarc_moderation_action other than Accept for this list. Munge From
# This action replaces the poster's address in the From: header with the
# list's posting address and adds the poster's address to the addresses
# in the original Reply-To: header. Wrap Message Just wrap the message
# in an outer message with the From: header containing the list's
# posting address and with the original From: address added to the
# addresses in the original Reply-To: header and with Content-Type:
# message/rfc822. This is effectively a one message MIME format digest.
# # The transformations for anonymous_list are applied before any of these
# actions. It is not useful to apply actions other than No to an
# anonymous list, and if you do so, the result may be surprising. The
# Reply-To: header munging actions below interact with these actions as
# follows:
# first_strip_reply_to = Yes will remove all the incoming
# Reply-To: addresses but will still add the poster's address to
# Reply-To: for all three settings of reply_goes_to_list which
# respectively will result in just the poster's address, the poster's
# address and the list posting address or the poster's address and the
# explicit reply_to_address in the outgoing Reply-To: header. If
# first_strip_reply_to = No the poster's address in the original From:
# header, if not already included in the Reply-To:, will be added to any
# existing Reply-To: address(es). These actions, whether selected here
# or via <a href="?VARHELP=privacy/sender/dmarc_moderation_action">
# dmarc_moderation_action, do not apply to messages in digests or
# archives or sent to usenet via the Mail<->News gateways. If <a
# href="?VARHELP=privacy/sender/dmarc_moderation_action">
# dmarc_moderation_action applies to this message with an action other
# than Accept, that action rather than this is applied
#
# zulässige Werte sind: # 0 = "Nein"
# 1 = "Munge From"
# 2 = "Wrap Message"
