Does MAM explicitly define what happens to an archive if the address for which the archive is kept disappears (eg: a MUC room gets destroyed)?
Guus
Deleting the archive seems logical, but might mess with locally stored archives?

From a pragmatic point of view, you can't tell who is the author of any given message in a semi-anon MUC anyway, so scoping LMC and MAM to "identities" is pointless.

If you want to make lmc work in PM (personally I'd say f*ck it who cares about muc pm) I'd relax the rules and match only by full jid and id. Because for PMs it's hard for someone else to guess what id you used

Contrary to group chat messages where the new guys sees the ids

It is as Jonas describes it. Everything from a non-member of the list is dropped.

can we reject that instead, as Ge0rG describes? A silent drop causes confusion.

after 20 years of xmpp, shouldn't there be something like a replacement for mailing lists?

It doesn't have to replace everything

Guus, rejecting email causes backscatter, which is a huge problem when the source address was spoofed in the first place. essentially, you become a more-or-less open relay :(

We have XMPP blogging already, and it could be used with email gateway.

I would prefer to use some kind of XMPP forums instead of mails, indeed

goffi, so yet-another-thing which tries to interface with email and will fail horribly?

just like discourse does

the only thing which reasonably interfaces with email is github, actually

goffi, because interfacing with email isn’t as trivial as people think. e.g. threads

That's something I have in my head for long, I'm hopping to do a proof of concept in the coming months.
Ge0rG
jonas’: maybe I'm misunderstanding the tech, but how exactly does *rejecting* email (as opposed to accepting it and then sending a bounce) cause backscatter that anybody can make *you* responsible for?
Kev
It wouldn't, but that's not possible with mailing list thingies.
alacerhas joined
Ge0rG
Wait, a mailing list thingie that's configured to only accept mails from members can do that, right?
Kev
In theory or in practice?
ralphm
What we could maybe do is accept members from the members list as allowed to send to board. I seem to remember Mailman supports that.
Ge0rG
Kev: it depends on whether we are talking about envelope-from or inline from.

With @list syntax, apparently.

“Another way to deal with this is to use the @Listname syntax to add the other sublists to accept_these_nonmembers of each sublist.”

Ge0rG, no, mailing list delivery happens too late

you’d have to do that while the SMTP connection from the origin is still open, which is not how that happens
Ge0rG
jonas’: this is an excuse.
Guushas left
Ge0rG
if you can reject a message based on a heavyweight perl-based bayesian framework check magic, while the smtp connection is still open, you surely can do it based on a small list of whitelisted addresses.
jonas’
Ge0rG, can you actually do that?
Ge0rG
it only didn't happen because of lazyness, ignorance, or -EBUSY.
jonas’
all SA deployments I’ve seen do not reject but only classify

(for the reason that it’s hard)
