I'm not sure who is getting it, but I'm getting a few emails a minute sometimes, it's rather annoying ... Can someone do some magic, and make it go away please ?

These mails only goes to moderators of the php-announce@ list, typically RMs and the like moderates this list hence why only a handful has gotten them, each moderation mail contains the original mail and addresses to approve or reject the message. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net --- ## #105749 — M.

The only relevant exception is when RMs send a mail to the announcement list, in which case they should watch their spam folder. -- Christoph M.

The last set of security releases did not make it to php-announce, because nobody approves messages to this list anymore.

It's not about additional moderators, but rather that there has been so much spam, that it was infeasible to check all of it for acceptable announcements. The main problem, though, seems that the moderation mails are no longer sent (I received the last one on 2019-06-04).

Thank you for enabling spam filters. There are now only few of those spam mails passing through but I guess reading one or two messages with pharmacy and similar content can be ignored and deleted on the mods side. > Who can we add as moderators? Oh, another thing. Increasing number of moderators here (on mailing lists) doesn't help in any way. Still each moderator has the same amount of emails to go through and the work load is not distributed but duplicated. If we all understand this. But hopefully the relevant emails could be approved on time anyhow.
