Re: Can you block gmail.com or so!!!

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.
