Thanks, Michelle, I've added those to our suppression list, too. Oddly enough, a user had actually confirmed gtk-l...@gnome.org, so I removed it from his account.
If anyone knows of a reliable way to identify mailing list addresses, I'd love to know so we could block mail to them. Currently, we just do it when it's reported to us. I suppose one approach might be to block "list.*" domains or email addresses in the format *-l...@.* or other common mailing list address formats. It wouldn't catch all of them, I'm sure (m...@gnome.org, for example), but it might help. I'm open to suggestions. We face the same pressure for growth that all social networks do, but most of the folks here really do want to do the right thing. We recognize that it doesn't benefit us (and, in fact, hurts us) to send mail to people who don't want to receive it.

The mailingisst from GNOME.org are gtk-app-devel-l...@gnome.org gtk-l...@gnome.org m...@gnome.org at least because I am subscribed there. What I do not understand is, WHY so big websites like LinkedIn does not carefuly block such domains from begining BEFORE someone has the idea to put any of you in RBL or somethinglike this I run a courier mailigist server with 80 lists currently and I BLOCK any messages TO and FROM a blocklist (contain more then 700 domains). Also I have to add nearly each week a new one.
