Alas! TheSpamProblem has officially arrived at zwiki.org. Time for us to do whatever real mailing lists do.
If I can I will set up razor-based spam checking on the server. Other options include some form of moderation, and restricting mailin to subscribers or anyone who responds correctly to a mailback. The latter seems like a decent solution actually.

But it shouldn't be necessary. <grumble.>

Added a subscribers-only flag to mailin and enabled it by default.

i reopend this issue. Zwiki.org lists my e-mail address (and I don't like that). It should be controllable per wiki, in order to allow listing mailadresses on intranets.

Where ? Do you mean in the comment heading when you mail-in ?
2002/06/09 08:48 GMT (via web):
Yep, I think the comment heading should be cleaned of any mailadresses as well. Even better is to give the users the ability to add a "WikiName" for their e-mailadress, so that [email protected] will be presented as MyName?.

Ok, I made a very rudimental patch for fixing this problem:
diff mailin.py mailin.org.py
220c220
< page.comment(use_heading=1, text=msg.body, username=re.sub(r'(?m)^(.)@(.)',r'\1',msg.sender), note= (via mail),
---
> page.comment(use_heading=1, text=msg.body, username=msg.sender, note= (via mail),
- (in words: only user the part of the e-mailadress before the at-sign)

to comply with RFC2822, it is better to replace:
username=msg.sender
with
username=rfc822.parseaddr(msg.sender)[0]?
- (it's line 220 in the CVS-version)

Thanks Pieter. I checked a modified version of this into cvs, it uses the first component of the email address if there is no real name. Untested.
