Spam on mailing lists

Occasionally the WordPress tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. mailing lists (wp-metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress., wp-trac, wp-svn) get a spam email slip through.

This one came through yesterday:
https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/wp-meta/2023-February/052414.html

After the recent email changes, can the rules for the trac-related mailing lists be tightened to only accept definite WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ emails?

AFAIR there wasn’t any Antispam or anything on lists, but i don’t know the reasoning for that. If it’s all good to have it, i’ll set rspamd with spf/dkim/dmarc and etc. This will affect all incoming emails, and not only from wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users.

Does that sound good?

  I’ve only just seen this comment.
  
  Yes, setting up anything like that for the lists domain should be fine, as we no longer actively use it for emails other than wporg => rest-of-world.. and wporg emails should pass through those checks fine.
