Hi folks,
Problem trying to solve:
########################################
SPAM PREVENTION AND MAILING LIST PRIVACY
restricting post by domain
########################################
I work for Company A(a.com). Company A bought out
company B(b.com). Company B had bought out Company
C(c.com) earlier.
So there are 3 domains still in usage in daily
operations. That is b.com is still using b.com in its
domain and likewise for c.com.
A mix of mailservers in use, POP, Notes and Exchange.
a.com has one mailing list server, lists.a.com
servicing both internal(staff only) and
external(staff+customers) needs.
I need to configure 400 out of 500 mailing lists on
server lists.a.com to be usable only internally. Only
internal users can send to this lists. Most are
unmoderated.
All internal lists have email addresses ending in
a.com which includes the employees previously from
b.com and c.com.
But b.com and c.com users are still appearing as FROM
their respective domains in the email message headers.
See the dilemma here?
In .config,
I cannot restrict a list such that only subscribers
can send mail to the list using "restrict-post =
listname"
Lists have been hidden from the "lists" command.
"who" command is taken care of as appropriate.
BUT I still cannot restrict in such a way that only
posters from a.com, b.com and c.com can post to this
lists.
Reseach about taboo_headers. Anyone has experience
with this potential saver? Is this to be used in
list.config or majordomo.cf. If majordomo.cf, I
cannot use it as it applies to the external lists too.
Folks, kindly comment please with regard to how I can
configure Majordomo to restrict posting by certain
domains instead of subscribers email addresses
Quote by Jason L. Tibbitts III:
"It might be nice to have something like, say,
allowed_addresses which would be an array of regexps,
like taboo_headers, at least one of which must match.
If none of these matches, restrict_post is consulted.
Hmmm."
See it at

That would be very cool, looks like majordomo can be
hacked that way to improve its usefulness. Need to
brush up on my perl skills. Has this feature been
implemented in the general latest release? Anyone? I
cannot find anything about it from my reading.
Would love to hear other possible solutions from y'all
about restricting post by domain rather than
subscribers' email addresses(using restrict-post).
