• spam in the tilde.team mailing list

    From ant@ant@tilde.club to tilde.team on Mon Dec 22 00:10:04 2025
    Hello, all

    The tildeteam at lists.tildeverse.org mailing list is flooded with spam.
    It seems to have started after the mailing list was registered with
    Gmane. Since all the spam is from a single sender, blacklisting
    them should be not hard, and less aggressive than disabling the
    entire Gmane integration. I have written to the admin at
    tildeteam-owner@ (domain hidden to avoid spam), but there has been
    no reply. If the lists is not abandoned and given up on, I ask the
    admin take measures.

    IMHO, mailing lists have some advantages over NNTP, viz:

    1. a permanent archive, both centralized and in ever participant's
    mailbox
    2. Typically more stringent access control.

    Even though the mailing list are not actively used, I should hate
    to see them fall into disuse and be overgrown with the spammer-weed.
