By the way, this won't stop spam as we would still need to moderate such messages.

sure, more work for me :)
Just changed it on https://mailman.suse.de/mailman/admin/osd-admins/privacy/sender to be aligned with what we have for o3-admins, "Hold" by default.

So we have the same settings on osd-admins as on o3-admins now. As I stated this does not prevent junk messages to reach ML admins but the past days I have seen none. Maybe something was fixed on the side of spam filtering server side in the meantime.

As discussed in https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02AJ1E568M/p1653310102875819 we chose to go back to an open ML

I vote to open OSD-admins again without moderation. Given it is our best approach to do "team-wide communication over e-mail" it is somehow expected that many people are not part of the list itself who write there. In the time while the list was closed I saw a lot less spam mails then valid mails and approving them by hand is really annoying and can swallow information. WDYT?

So I changed the ML configuration to be open again.
