I too asked Karl to consider sending fewer messages per day recently so this chimes with Gregs news. So long as we're on a single server I suggest an upper-cap be placed on daily contributions. As to the number I suggest a vote. Majority rules at this stage. See what youse think! Also, those posts held back might be published later. Not disappear completely. This is a tough one. What happens next might change the history of the crypto-wars.
For the potential of a technical solution: One of the things I dug into is rate limiting by mailman, the list software that we use. Unfortunately there are zero options for this built into Mailman. There's not any straightforward way I know of to limit the number of messages per day (or another period), or the number from a particular user. For those who might want to try to find technical solutions: We are on an Ubuntu 22.04 server. We use Postfix 3.6.4 as our mail transport agent. We use Mailman 2.1.29 for list management. Along with postfix we have postgrey and the postfix policy server. ~ Greg On Wed, Sep 20, 2023 at 07:13:14PM +0000, pro2rat@yahoo.com.au wrote:
