Hi all, As previously mentioned, blocking the gmail domain isn't a feasible solution since the vast majority of @gmail.com subscribers (about 500 in total) are likely legitimate Ceph users. A mailing list member recommended some additional SPF checking a couple weeks ago which I just implemented today. I think what's actually happening is a bot will subscribe using a gmail address and then "clicks" the confirmation link. They then spam from a different domain pretending to be coming from gmail.com but it's not. The new config I put in place should block that. Hopefully this should cut down on the spam. I took over the Ceph mailing lists last year and it's been a never-ending cat and mouse game of spam filters/services, configuration changes, etc. I'm still learning how to be a mail admin so your patience and understanding is appreciated. -- David Galloway Systems Administrator, RDU Ceph Engineering IRC: dgalloway On 8/6/20 8:13 AM, Osama Elswah wrote: > or just block that user > > On Thu, Aug 6, 2020 at 2:06 PM Lindsay Mathieson < > lindsay.mathieson@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> On 6/08/2020 8:52 pm, Marc Roos wrote: >>> Can you block gmail.com or so!!! >> >> !
