when you send an email and then forget to set it as from the email you
are subscribed with, plus, there might be other people that want to
email the docs list.
I wonder how many of the 200 or so emails are spam and how many are
real? Plus, how many emails do we manually approve through now?
Over the years since I have been an admin (2005?) I have cleared the
queue a number of times. I clear it by using browser page search on
"Subject" and find that I can visually scan a few hundred subjects and
pull the ham from the spam.
I reckon that each pass of ~200 message queue yields 4 potentially
legitimate messages - actual people attempting to communicate. There
are an equal number of e.g.
twitter.com invites when people let
programs at their address book. The rest are spam. 2% ham, 3% oops,
and 95% spam.
When I come across someone who is either on the list or should be on
the autorecipient list, I use the queue interface to add them to the
accept list. For example, the other day Noriko sent from
noriko(a)redhat.com, so I passed the message and clicked to add this
alias to the accept list.
I'm an admin on so many lists that I don't let the queue emails land
in my inbox any longer, so I don't scan them for details. If someone
jumps on the queue once a week, it should work.
