Python-checkins mailing list Python-checkins at python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-checkins As a volunteer checkin-list admin, I occasionally get messages like this: ''' As list administrator, your authorization is requested for the following mailing list posting: List: Python-checkins at python.org From: root at python.org Subject: Cron <docs at dinsdale> /home/docs/build-devguide Reason: Message has implicit destination At your convenience, visit: http://mail.python.org/mailman/admindb/python-checkins to approve or deny the request. ''' I always reject the requests as I don't believe these messages belong here. I even asked, some months ago, on pydev who was responsible for the robot that sends these but got no answer. Today, apparently, another list admin decided on the opposite response and gave root at python.org blanket permission to flood this list with irrelavancy. It it not my responsibility and I have no idea how to fix it.

You can add a sender filter to have the messages automatically discarded.

While people with push priviliges are supposed to subscribe to this list, I know there is at least one who unsubscribed because of the volume. This will only encourage more to leave, so I hope someone can stop it.

I think such messages should go to a sys admin list.
