If a user turns out to be a spambot, you unsubscribe him (not > sure if this happened so far). That's pretty much it. And my identity as a human and not a spambot is verified by replying to an e-mail from the same address with a cookie or visiting a web link with a cookie, right? Could this be changed to verifying that I'm a human when I send a message the same way as it's done when I subscribe to a list? It would be easier to visit a link when I send a patch to confirm that it was me than setting up a mail filter that throws away the list traffic that's not relevant to me. > BTW, I think Chris Lumens is handling the Anaconda mailing lists, so he > might know more.
