Обсуждение: Cross-posting to 26 lists?
WWW, John Nash was just able to cross-post to 26 mailing lists at once. I thought we had a filter in place to prevent posting to more than 2 lists at once? Oh, and please ban him, of course. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

This, along with the fact that he's obviously using a fake name makes me believe that he has no intention of ever giving a single thing back. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services

I think the problem here was one of misunderstanding Majordomo. I saw his post in the moderation interface and thought a bit about it; I thought I would let one copy get through and approved it; then mass-rejected all remaining moderation requests (all spam). I didn't notice that Majordomo had published all the other copies; maybe what happened (but with my understanding of how Mj2 works, I don't think this is likely) was that the re-sender process saw the CCs in the mail header and copied to all the other lists. I don't care enough to spend much of my time researching this. It's not like we have this problem every week. > Oh, and please ban him, of course. I think this is an overreaction. The guy has validly posted to other lists previously, and apart from the mistake of copying all lists in this one message, I don't see any sign of repeated misfeasance. I don't see that forcing the guy to create a second gmail account to post would accomplish anything. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

It's not like it was spam - it was relevant to PostgreSQL. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

I replied to him on one of the lists (-hackers iirc) and told him not to do it again. I didn't threaten him with being booted though. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
