hi, all.  for the past week or so i've been getting three or four notifications about failed spam attempts on a ploneformgen issue i submitted to the plone.org a while back.  apparently, the spams are rejected, but issue subscribers receive notices about the spam rejection.

i see discussion of measures taken to filter spam postings to issues and the like:

  http://plone.org/support/forums/plone.org#nabble-tt2695756

perhaps the measures are unnecessarily notifying the issue subscribers about the rejections, constituting a nuisance in themselves?  (it's quite frustrating, since there is no apparent way for me to resign from notifications from an issue, and i don't want to send plone tracker issues to my spam folder.)

That plone-website thread was about the comment spam.  I don't think  
anyone has done anything about the issue tracker spam.  I only just  
found out about it now.

Just a quick look and it doesn't look like the tracker spams are being  
rejected.  The issue display just disappears after a spam post.  I'm  
guessing the spam posts are breaking the new xsl stuff.  You can still  
see the display by going to the old.plone.org alternative domain for  
the same url.

Not sure about a quickie fix for these.  Some have only four or five  
urls in them so the simple filter from before won't work.  Not sure we  
want to get more aggressive about the number of urls.  Legitimate  
issue posts might have a few urls in them.  Maybe blocking anonymous  
might be a temporary measure.

Anyone have any other thoughts?

Ric

just in case it would be easy, as an interim and also generally-useful measure - would it be possible to add a tracker knob by which issue subscribees can inhibit notification traffic?

Probably :-)

Sorry, not familiar with that product code so someone else may have to  
chime in.

Looking around... okay I see a button called "Stop watching this  
issue".  You might have go to the old.plone.org version if the tracker  
page won't show in plone.org.  The button works if you're subscribed  
to an existing issue; didn't try it if I started the issue.  Try it  
and see.

Unfortunately, they weren't failed attempts. I've just been deleting
them pretty quickly.

alas, no - i see no such option in my logged-in view of the issue on either plone.org or old.plone.org.  either the initial issue poster is not allowed to unsubscribe, or maybe there's a misguided permissions thing happening, where you see the option because you generally have privileges...

(i also saw none of the spam postings to the issue, but steve's followup, mentioning that he's been deleting them, explains that.)
