Обсуждение: moderation of pg advocacy?
Isn't this group moderated or have some kind of controls? Usually I never see spam/scams on tech lists like this, but the last 2 posts were that way. -- Darren Duncan

In fact, 3 emails were posted in between those two you mention that weren't distributed (and in other lists, many many more are quietly rejected every day). The trouble is that these two posts were made from addresses that had been previously subscribed to some lists and had been taken over by bots; so the messages weren't held for moderation. I removed the addresses from the register, so it shouldn't happen again from those two addresses. Of course, there are others :-( -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

And in practice, auto-moderating only messages from unsubscribed people is the only really practical way to manage a list with low overhead. -- Darren Duncan
