[Pkg-osm-maint] Make pkg-osm-maint list moderated?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Hi.  I noticed the mailing list archive for
pkg-osm-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org is filled with spam.  Did you
consider making the list moderated, only allowing subscribers to post
directly (and adding a whitelist of other addresses allowed to post
directloy) to avoid the spam making it to subscribers?

The moderation job become fairly easy when using the listadmin package
and script in Debian.  With a properly set up ~/.listadmin.ini file,
one can moderate a list in a few seconds.  I do this my self for the
mailman lists I maintain, and the 60 lists I moderate only take me a
minute every morning. :)

This is an example .listadmin.ini file:

  username user at domain.com
  password secret
  spamlevel 23
  default discard
  discard_if_reason "Posting restricted to members only. Remove us from your mail list."

  adminurl https://{domain}/mailman/admindb/{list}
  pkg-osm-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org

Cc to pkg-osm-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org, to let every subscriber
know about the idea. :)
