Hi!
I'm managing some Mailman based lists and get "some" spam each day.
Actually, > 95% of all emails kept for being revised is Spam, and it
takes some time to navigate through all of them and click on their
"discard" radio button. But changing the default from "defer" to
"discard" isn't all that wise either, it may break other people's setup
horribly. That is why I thought about having a small table ontop with
the four chooses, which fire up a JScript to equally check the radio
buttons for all mails in this admindb session.
However, I'm not really a Python (nor a JavaScript) hacker, so I've only
done that on the emitted HTML code. But maybe you get the idea and can
integrate that into Mailman at some day or the other. It would save me
quite some time a day:) I'll attach a patch (but only for the HTLM
code, if you like the idea, you'll need to figure out where to place
that into the .py scripts), the outline is like this:
- Have a small JavaScript in the HTLM HEAD area that chooses the
appropriate radio box.
- Have an additional small FORM (w/o submit button or the like, only to
have one more radio button list) to choose
defer/accept/reject/discard.
- Spend a name for the hugh FORM (containing all moderated emails) to be
able to access it from inside the JavaScript.
I'm not a JavaScript expert (in fact, I made this by trial and error, so
for sure this can be done more elegant:) please don't blame for that...
