In theory we could make it simpler by sending back a message that requires just a click to subscribe/authorize the email by a real user, if they intend to do so, on their first email to a mailing list. We could also allow posting to other mailing lists if the email address is subscribed to any other list. I realize this would require working on mailman and that is probably something we do not want to spend time on ... After all you have to subscribe to discourse as well to be able to post ... so there is no huge difference here. -- Simo Sorce RHEL Crypto Team Red Hat, Inc _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
