Currently there are 245 emails in the moderation queue for
ubuntu-devel@ and 12 for ubuntu-release@. Most are spam. I get the
impression there's been a massive increase in spam hitting the lists in
recent weeks.
If we shutter the mailing lists and move to Discourse this will be moot,
but in the meantime, I think we either need to start auto-rejecting
email from non-subscribers, or we need more human spam filters.
Any volunteers?
I asked this on Matrix a while ago[1] and had one volunteer, but I don't
think that's enough!
If we don't get some volunteers, I'm going to set ubuntu-devel@ email to
auto-reject for non-subscribers - better that then emails in the queue
never getting looked at.
Thanks,
Robie
