Hi,

it appears that there would be even a lot more spam, but much of it is being held already, due to this setting:

Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. : Hold

You can see those held messages in https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admindb/wikifa-l

But the spam that was still getting through, appeared with from: "wikifa-l@lists.wikimedia.org"

To fix that, in Privacy->Sender filters, i removed the list address here:

List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted: wikifa-l@lists.wikimedia.org

and instead added it here:

List of non-member addresses whose postings will be immediately held for moderation: wikifa-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Now those messages from non-members will be held as well.

It needs a moderator to go here:

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admindb/wikifa-l

Additionally i made you/Amir/the requestor a moderator, based on his status of being sysop/bureaucrat on fa.wp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ladsgroup).

Amir, can you confirm you can login to the moderation interface and use it succesfully?

Hope that helped,

Daniel

Thanks
I logged in (finally) and from now I give my attention to on hold E-mails
