Question, did the IETF list setup disable the "non-member" email notifications?
Spam reduction. We apply the rule to all of our mailing lists, and it is very
helpful.
I don't think that's what Hector asked.
The question isn't "do we block email from non-members";
the question seems to be "we used to reply to the sender with a
notification that their message was blocked due to not being a
list member, with options to wait or cancel; did we disable those
notifications?"
And I took Fred's response as answering it.
Spam efforts exploit return address vectors. This can make it
problematic to send back failure notices.
It has become common for automated response mechanisms NOT to send a
response, such as for a failed posting.
