Yes. And I can assure you that what is true for allfeatures is true for many other lists. Regretfully, there is not much we can do. At the same time, there are already pending RFEs to enahnce spam fighting in the OOo web infrastructure. I'm closing this as a duplicate of 26049. thanks louis *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 26049 *** Hi Louis, I think you got me wrong. The issue is NOT somebody else spaming the list. OOo is spaming itself. Due to technical malfunction I guess postings for a OOo CVS alias end up in the allfeatures list. Best regards, Peter I see; thanks. routing to support. thanks Louis Researching into this. Seems this list is getting subscribed to the allcvs list. Doing more research. I noticed that recently there are a large no. of postings from "is@openoffice.org". I don't see these postings in the previous months. Researching into this issue (lists getting subscribed to other lists) shows that users are responding to e-mails to "add mailing-lists to the allfeatures list". All it takes is ONE reply to start this subscription! If you want, we can extract the list of users, who have requested this subscription, from the archives. Is it possible to notify the users not to reply/respond to any e- mails requesting for "subscription of any kind of lists to other lists". Hi, is@openoffice.org is OK. He's just another guy working at StarOffice who (I guess) worked some weeks on a project and now feeds back the results to the CVS. Please go ahead extracting the archives if this is the only way to resolve the issue. This cross subscription makes it very hard to use the list for daily work. Thanks, Peter Someone is requesting the allcvs list be subscribed to the allfeatures list. The system is designed to work such that lists can be subscribed to other lists, hence allfeatures and allcvs. There is a safeguard in place to try and avoid unwanted subscriptions which is a confirmation email that must be replied to in the affirmative for the subcription to be enacted. The problem here is that the confirmation is being replied to affirmatively. The solution is to educate the list members not to reply to these subcription requests. I will attach the detail I have culled from the list as to who has been subscribing the allcvs list to the allfeatures list as well as the users who sent an affirmative reply to the allcvs request to join the allfeatures list.

@bnoble: I don't understand what do you expect me to do to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, the only direct solution is to educate the allfeatures list members not to reply to allcvs subcription requests. I don't think that user education is a solution. a) I guess the subscription requests are sent by virus messages. b) The subscribed members are changing from day to day and you can't expect them to really read what they are confirming. c) We are not able to change confirmation messages or trailers. My suggestion to solve the issue would be to change the behaviour of the list allfeatures@ooo. A list should block and not distribute (un-)subscribe requests to it's members. Even a sublist or unmoderated lists should not distribute administrative messages to subscribers. Given the prior comment, changing this to an enhancement request and altering the summary to reflect the current request. *** Issue 32162 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** Our solution is to allow for subscribing one list to another through the UI only and only by project owners. Please advise if this is acceptable. The solution sounds good. I would allow users with permission "Mailing List - Subscribe Members" to add a sublist as subscriber. What will happen with subscribe / unsubscribe requests received via email which contains a list-address as Sender/From? Are they silently ignored or forwarded to the list owner? In no case an error message should be sent to the sender - which is a list. Hi St
