Re: [Wikimedia-l] How to deal with spam subscription to mailing list - Wikimedia-l

A couple of days ago we had exactly the same issue on the edit filter mailing list. It seemed to come through in a single burst and then stop, though. We haven't had any issues since.

Hi all,

We have been receiving tens of subscription to our mailing list ( wikimedia-ng@lists.wikimedia.org) from aol.com addresses. Today alone we have received over 30 subscription from that domain addresses and we find this very problematic. I'll need the help of a more experienced list administrators in dealing with this.

Thank you,
