Can someone explain me why opencores mailing list is
one of the only ones flooded with SPAM???
(besides those me too mp3 guys ;o)

Because it is not moderated. For a while spam filters did a decent job, however it is getting worse and I'm condering it might be the time for a moderated list. However moderated list would mean some delay in getting legitimate posts to the list. The delay could be reduced by having several moderators - are there any volunteers to be moderators of the opencores lists (maybe time to reduce number of mailing lists?) regards, Damjan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Klingler" richard.klingler at violasystems.com> To: "Discussion list about free open source IP cores" cores at opencores.org> Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 9:09 PM Subject: [oc] spam...

Isn't the mailing list based on subscription like the "u-boot" mailing list
where you need to click a link for activating your sender address?


Well..for moderating I have quite some time spare (o;

Hi Damjan,

Could you briefly explain how the moderation works technically. Is every
email screened or only the subscription of new users? What tasks are
involved?

Thanks

On the subject of spam filters, are they still in place? I know that most
of the random spam I get on a given day is one of 5 messages, almost word
for word. Seems like things like that should be easy to filter ...

Here's an idea. Are there different settings/different spam filters that
could be used? How about set it up so that it boots anything that it
thinks even look like spam, and that gets sent to a moderater, but
everything else just gets sent. Might even be worth having something like
a "trusted" list, ie people who've posted a lot in the past are considered
unlikley to spam, as opposed to someone new? I don't know if either of
those are possible, but it seems like, if it could be done, it would cut
down on the moderators workload.

Hi all, non-member posts to cores mailinglist are now moderated. Currently we have three moderators. We would like to enable moderation for non-members on all mailing lists so if anyone else is interested in moderating this or any other OpenCores mailing list please send email to webmaster at opencores.org. regards, Miha On Tuesday 22 June 2004 06:28 am, Sridhar wrote:

Afternoon..

Could you please delete me from the anti-spam list?


Don't see the point in doing this. Never seen any serious
mailing list allowing non-members to post.

Besides..what's the point in getting (un)subscription messages
and successful discard messages with all spam/virus content?
And please make discard filter global instead of limiting
to one mailing list...


thanx in advance
