Hi Sergio,

The only solution is to remove the aliases towards the "-request" addresses.

You also need to change the lists_aliases.tt2 so that future lists creations
won't add this entry.

However, you should be aware that this address is supposed to be working in
order to let subscribers contact their list
owner (it is the address used when people click "contact owenrs" in the web
interface).

You'd rather improve your antispam than prevent legitimate emails to reach
their receipients.

Best regards,

David

True, but I think Sympa should reject emails from non-subscribers to -request?
Well it's a contact address for list owners. That means they could be
contacted for anything related to their list,
including datasource maintenance, GPDR enquiries, I don't know. And this
would probably not come from a subscriber.

And by listmasters of course, but this would not be prevented in the code.

Maybe it should be scenario-governed ?
Yes, that would be a good idea.

Racke

Of course, unless it is list that allows post from everyone.

Good day,

I have Sympa running and working perfectly.

Lately, spam messages are coming to the addresses address@concealed
<mailto:address@concealed> and that
email reaches the owners of the list.

Is there any way to disable emails to address@concealed
<mailto:address@concealed> reach owners?


Atentamente.
