Marc, all:
First off, I'd love to see some unsubscribe links available at
www.postgresq.org/community/lists. Currently you have to drill down via
the archives to get to the unsub links; this confuses a lot of users ( I
know I didn't find it on the first try) and as a result I end up fielding
about a dozen "how do I unsubscribe" questions a week.
Second, (this is for Marc) I'd like to know what's possible in the way of
banning certain addresses from subscribing, either to specific lists or to
all lists. What I want to ban is:
1) anyone from uol.com.br or other domains which use email-back security;
2) certain people who cronically put on vacation notices without suspending
their subscriptions;
3) users like the one today who sent me a profanity-filled request to
unsubscribe.
It seems like majordomo has tools to do some of the above, but they seem to
be per-list only, and to require some knowledge of the filter syntax.
Marc?

Hell no, and fairly easy ... we have a slew of them right now ... for more
details, look at the access_rules documentation, but here is what is in
place right now across all lists ... I even have one in place for the
@uol.com.br like you requested ages back ... if its not working, though,
I'll look into the 'why', as its possible I have ordering wrong:

Unfortunately, it's not working. We have 3 uol.com.br people subscribed
right now, I know because I got all their bounce messages. ;-b

'k, what list? I just checked pgsql-announce, where they usually are, and
nothing is there ... checked -general and -hackers to, nadda ... and I'm
using 'grep -i', just in case its as something like UOL.com.br ..

Announce. Craparooni, maybe they're using mail forwarding? I should
have saved those. Will make a list next time I send an announce e-mail.
In the meantime, can you unsubscribe [email protected] and ban her
from resubscribing?

Would be my guess :( Makes it all the more fun, eh? :)

I get a few fewer. I've committed a change to
template/en/community/lists.html that should make things a little
clearer.

What about another form named "unsubscribe" which is similar to
subscribe form and just has unsub option?
