Fedora Infrastructure Team:
For the past several weeks, the Fedora Docs list has been hit hard (at least 500+) with spam e-mails. They get rejected, but, I, as an owner of the list, am getting flooded with these rejected notices, making my job harder.
I also notice an increase in unsubscribe notices, which may be unrelated.
Can you please check this out and let me know if there is anything that can be done to tighten up the filters?
I know there are at least 3 other list owners of Fedora-Docs-list who are being affected.
Best Regards,
John Babich Member, Fedora Docs Steering Committee (FDSCo)

Yes there is, if someone forwards me the password for admin access to the list I can set it up and then show you guys how to maintain/tweak it.

Yeah, sorry about that. I usually filter those notices to the side (or Trash) then go in to clean out the moderation queue every week or so. Bob is doing something similar.
If it gets to be too much right now, you can use the password to log in to the admin interface then remove yourself as an admin. When we get the spam filtering in place from Mike, you can log back in and add yourself back. The main purpose of that group is to receive fedora-docs-list-owner email; it does not provide access permissions.

Unrelated, the spam isn't getting through to the list.
FWIW, I've felt before that it seemed the unsubs were overtaking the subs. I do know from watching it for a long time, the list membership size fluctuates but has been continuously and slowly rising over the years.
