Tim here. It was done a number of years back because some spammer managed to find the list, harvest the reply-address of every sender, and reply to every post with nude/sexual images. I'm not really sure why or what they got out of it, but when the list was switched over to anonymous authorship, the spam stopped. There might be a better solution now, but it's a mixed situation. I'm thankful to not have random inappropriate images show up in my mailbox (less of an issue now that I use mutt rather than a graphical MUA), but it does make it challenging to determine who sent what. -Tim On 2023-05-18 09:28, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > > On 17/5/23 12:06, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > >To be sure, it doesn't really matter (to me, at least :-) who these folks > >are, but it would make it a lot easier to follow conversations if some > >identification were provided. > > It must be an issue with the mailing list server. > > I know the messages are sent out with my full name and e-mail address in the > "From" field. > > Perhaps this is a side effect of the way in which the list is configured to > deal with DMARC compliance.
