https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D262909 Philip Paeps <philip@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |philip@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #3 from Philip Paeps <philip@FreeBSD.org> --- As far as postmaster@ is concerned, this is a WONTFIX. Anyone can subscribe to most of our mailing lists. They can potentially ex= pand to thousands of subscribers (as ports@ does). This makes them very attract= ive for spammers. Being listed on the mlmmj index makes these lists easy to fi= nd too. While I sympathise with the view that MAINTAINER addresses should be easy to reach, open mailing lists are not viable in today's internet. Subscribing = to a mailing list is not an insurmountable burden. Moreover, mlmmj makes it eas= y to subscribe an address for posting only (nomail). We (postmaster@) will not permit non-subscribers to post to mailing lists to which anyone can subscribe. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
