Subject: anti-SPAM measures on c-client and imap lists

Due to the recent prevalence of SPAM reaching the imap and c-client
mailing lists, Mark and I have decided to change the list
configurations to only accept messages from subscribers.  A
side-effect of this change is that postings to the list may be
rejected if the address you post from doesn't match what listproc
recognizes as your address :-(

If this is a problem for you, please contact me at
[email-masked] or [email-masked] and
I will configure appropriate aliases for you.  It would help me
greatly if you send me the information in the format described below.

Syntax: alias <list> <password> <new-address> <address-as-subscribed>
        ignore <list> <password> <address>

        Alias an existing subscriber to a new address, or ignore postings from
        the specified address. Both requests are aliases of the more generic
        PUT request:

        put <list> <password> alias <address> <address>
        put <list> <password> ignore <address>

        <address> and <new-address> can be regular expressions.

        Examples:

                alias ermis ermis1 uucp!bar.com!foo [email-masked]
                alias ermis ermis1 ^@.*:(.*)@(.*\..*) \1@\2

        The latter will remove source routing from all addresses and convert
        them to the user@domain syntax; for example, @GATEWAY:[email-masked]
        will be converted to [email-masked]).

                alias ermis ermis1 [^!@]*!([^!@.]*)!([^!@]*)@.* \2@\1.uucp

        This will convert [email-masked] to [email-masked]

                ignore ermis ermis1 [email-masked]
                ignore ermis ermis1 ~<.*\.com|.*\.edu>

        The latter restricts postings to .com and .edu domains only.
