It's best if the actual list administrators decide how to handle postings from non-members.

Hi,

Re: Banning a domain - I think that regex you are using needs to be changed.

As far as I know, the examples given here are all well-formed:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Administration#Auto-discarding_spam

(I added them there, after asking for help from others, so I hope so!)

Re: "non-members" - that's just an automated list of anyone who has ever interacted with the list.[1] I believe we should leave the spammer-addresses in there, but can change their moderation-settings to "Discard".

[1] https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/model/docs/membership.html#nonmembers - "Nonmembers are used to represent people who have posted to the mailing list but are not subscribed to the mailing list. These may be legitimate users who have found the mailing list and wish to interact without a direct subscription, or they may be spammers who should never be allowed to contact the mailing list."

Hope that helps!

Hi,

I have banned an email address domain (with *+@sorter.ch) but I am still seeing emails from this sort of address getting through to moderation. What else do I need to do? I see there are some emails from this domain listed as non-members. Should I delete those?

Thanks!
