The ASDF-devel list is acquiring a bunch of bogus Twitter messages. [These aren't really spam, but are admin messages that are leaking onto asdf-devel.] Unfortunately, these don't all come form a single email address.
Would it be possible for us to simply dump any email from any address @twitter.com?
thanks! R
Hi,
yes, you can add a corresponding regex to the ban_list option in mailman. A version of the instructions can be found here:

Is there any chance this is disabled on cl.net? I tried to block all twitter emails using
^.*@twitter.com
which I believe to be correct according to those docs. But I get this error message:
Error: Bad email address for option ban_list: ...<full echo of ban list here>
Thanks, Robert

I don't think it is disabled. Maybe you need to escape the dot in the email address, like this:
^.*@twitter.com
Does that work?

No, I tried and I get the same error as before.
I also tried adding a normal email address after a ^ as follows:
^osama-bin-laden@alqaeda.com
and get the same error, which leads me to suspect that the ^ flag is disallowed in this installation.
Best, r
