webmaster forwarding changes

[Thomas Chung]

Since we're now bouncing all webmaster mails to list owners for
moderation, I have updated aliases to forward directly to
fedora-websites-list-owner

Please use *forward* the list and cc to the user if we receive valid email.

I've been doing a little research on the headers that get through to
mailman and it seems we can do some spam filtering.  The question is what
should the action be when webmaster(a)fedoraproject.org encounters spam.
Should we just reject it, drop it, or hold it?

Holding is probably the safest, to
avoid false positives.  

By the way, we discussed a bit, and we're back to having webmaster go
directly to the mailing list, with moderation for non-member posts.
With this happening, I think we should be pretty on top of mailing list
spam.  It sounds like the spam headers could be handy for filtering
occasional spam from list members, though (which I've seen happen).

Thanks a lot for looking into this,
Ricky

As Ricky mention, we're good for now.
Thank you Mike!

I have been a list moderator for the webmaster address for half a year  
or so.  I guess the policy before had been one of limited initial  
deletion, but just holding email from non list members.  In my time  
modding the list, there have been a good number of occasions that I  
would have to "accept" a message.  Most cases were from users  
incorrectly asking for Fedora help via the webmaster address, but  
there was an instance that an email from a Red Hat employee got held :)

As a side note, I guess the setup of the list (or the webmaster(a)fp.o  
email) has changed since this discussion started since I am no longer  
receiving moderation requests.  Was this intentional?

Hi Eric,
I'll put you back as a moderator.
If anyone else would like to be a moderator for this list, please
contact me off-list.
