This morning we had a lot of spam coming in to dev-l10n from one user. https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-l10n Attached is an example of source. Email: huidaoffice@gmail.com Here's the problem: the user doesn't show up in the list of members. How can they send emails to the mailing list? Via Google Groups?

How can > they send emails to the mailing list? Via Google Groups? It depends on the privacy options, configured by mailing list owner. Tip to prevent spammers from posting to the list: See the mailing list administration page --> Privacy options --> Sender filters Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. => select "Hold" Should messages from non-members, which are automatically discarded, be forwarded to the list moderator? => select "Yes" (if you want to review messages from non-members

Still depends on your decision. Couple options there, you could simply choose to reject or discard but might also reject/discard non-spam posts. :)
I think we can close, thanks for the explanation. I noticed at least 2 message in the queue this morning, so it's working.

Please don't close it. The problem is not the mailing list, but the newsgroup. I just connected to news.mozilla.org, subscribed to mozilla.dev.l10n and posted, with an address that I had not registered. And the message ended up in the mailing list. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.l10n/lrLfbdQZTdM/jjQIEOtyAwAJ The newsgroup server should be secured, or maybe set as read-only while we figure out how to protect it.
