Hello, somebody is mailing spam for wikifa-l and we've received 30 spam mail this month: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikifa-l/2011-August/author.html admin of this mailing list is not active (maybe temporary) and I don't know what to do. If the problem is solved by making another admin, make me admin and say i must to do or If you can solve this, do it please. Thanks
Spams are getting worse....
This needs someone in ops to do.

Hi, it appears that there would be even a lot more spam, but much of it is being held already, due to this setting: Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. : Hold You can see those held messages in https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admindb/wikifa-l But the spam that was still getting through, appeared with from: "wikifa-l@lists.wikimedia.org" To fix that, in Privacy->Sender filters, i removed the list address here: List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted: wikifa-l@lists.wikimedia.org and instead added it here: List of non-member addresses whose postings will be immediately held for moderation: wikifa-l@lists.wikimedia.org Now those messages from non-members will be held as well. It needs a moderator to go here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admindb/wikifa-l Additionally i made you/Amir/the requestor a moderator, based on his status of being sysop/bureaucrat on fa.wp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ladsgroup). Amir, can you confirm you can login to the moderation interface and use it succesfully? Hope that helped, Daniel
Thanks I logged in (finally) and from now I give my attention to on hold E-mails
