[Fiware-wpl] Spam filtering

[Miguel Carrillo]

Dear all,

This is to briefly report on the status of the spam filters. We have had
quite a bit of spamming on some lists in the past weeks (namely, fiware
general, wpl, wpa, support and iot). We implemented some filtering that
initially seemed to work but now we are back to square one receiving
tons of mail every day and we need to see what to do.

As I am moderating 4 out of 5, most of you did not even perceive this.
Those in IoT have seen just a fifth of the spam in the project. The idea
is that we have been testing a mechanism to block this. The support list
has been running ok with this for more than a week now and we are
goingto extend it to the aforementioned list today if everything goes well.

While this is under tests in fiware general, wpl, wpa, support and iot)
the moderator of the list will receive a warning each time a message is
blocked. After a few days, if all passes the tests ad see that the
filtering is good, we will disable this temporary mechanism and we will
delete spam not sending any warnings to anyone.

Once finished, we will extend it to all the lists of the project.

Best regards,

Miguel
