Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 24918
Blocking of certain addresses might help to decrease mail traffic
Last modified: 2006-10-10 08:00:25 UTC
As requested in issue 24851 I file a new issue about the idea to block addresses. As discussed earlier I could imagine to block messages to addresses announce@openoffice.org, postmaster@openoffice.org, mailer-daemon@openoffice.org for 2 days to decrease mail load. But please make sure, we can use these addresses again after this amount of time. Btw, we confirmed this request already for account names (bob|john|stan|serg|james|claudia|debby|maria|brian|michael|matt|alex|smith|ray|sam|tom|joe|jimmy|dave|robert|brent|peter|sandra|bill|helen|alice|ja ck|david|steve|julie)@openoffice.org in an issue at extranet.
This information has already been filed on our internal issue tracking system and is a duplicate of #7.
The addresses announce@openoffice.org, postmaster@openoffice.org, mailer-daemon@openoffice.org are not mentioned in #7. I would consider #7 (servlets are not working as fixed).
Another idea is to drop messages from non-subscribers to mailing lists - no moderation, no bounce => no traffic.
Have the suggestions been taken into consideration?
ops has been monitoring these addresses and the mail flow overall. blocking these addresses would have no substantial impact.
Are there any other specific addresses we can have a look at?
As Louis indicated in the other email issue, Ops has been monitoring the flow of email and is providing data on the situation. Mail is getting through and we have no recommendations at this time on changing or blocking various addresses.
closing per last statement: "Ops has been monitoring the flow of email and is providing data on the situation. Mail is getting through and we have no recommendations at this time on changing or blocking various addresses." Closing as general email probs related to the recent worm problems are being addressed in other issues.
Can we close this issue .
