Suggestion for "moderation"
Jonas Lund
verge of unsubscribing as i guess instituting full moderation wouldn't
be very practical (i'm sure most people don't get paid for sitting
here)
Altho just leaving and complaining won't help anybody (and i do love freebsd).
So....
Isn't there some kind of auto-moderation system that could be placed
in (Plugin or whatever)? Like delaying the mails for an hour for all
newly subscribed users (so kicking people off the list will force them
to re-list) and then just sending the mail in advance to "moderators"
that would have simple link that would remove the mail from the queue.
(Maybe one hit on the link would delay the mail futher and several
clicks within the timespan would kill it).
This way message will get through by default but annoying stuff
wouldn't affect everybody.
Just another 2C

NO. No human censors Please,

"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely"
(I have observed such corruption on a non BSD list)

Best thing is to first look at which tools & config freebsd.org
currently use for their lists. Then look at what other full automatic
anti spam tools are ready & available to integrate. ie this whol
topic does not belong on hardware@, its a generic background to all lists,
so should be discussed with the FreeBSD postmaster team.
Cheers,

It's much simpler than that. This list is run by Mailman. It's
a matter of a couple of clicks in a web interface to change the list
settings so that (a) mail from known subscribers is passed through
and (b) mail from everyone else is held for moderator attention.
This is by no means a panacea, but it does cut out a great deal
of the noise, thereby allow more focused attention on whatever
manages to escape this measure.

IMHO, FreeBSD does a great job of this
