we're still getting
"[sudo-info] Delayed Mail (still being retried)"
emails every day...are we retrying to the messages still?
Is there a good way to remove those? I can do it if you give me a hint where
to look, or what tools to use to dig into this.
thank you for your help

Yeah, there's a pretty easy way to see the current "stuck mail" queue:
$ sudo postqueue -p
Each message has a queue ID at the start of it, something like
"9018BC07D1". To delete a given queue ID, use this command:
$ sudo postsuper -d <QUEUEID>
Be careful with this.
I'm currently looking into ways of blocking Tor. Apache doesn't seem to
have an easy blocklist-by-ip feature, and I'd rather not make it a hard
drop at the firewall level to at least give some notice as to why things
are blocked to the wayward innocent Tor user.

OK, I think I've gotten a working Tor block. There is a daily cron job
that downloads the Tor exit node list and formats it into an apache
block list:
/etc/cron.daily/tor-blocklist-update
/etc/apache2/tor_exit_nodes.conf
The main apache2 config has had a section added to consult this block
list and return a customized 403 message if it's triggered.
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/sudoroom.org.conf
Definitely not perfect, but it did block the mailing list subscription
page for me when I tried accessing it through Tor.
Please let me know if anyone notices anything broken.

awesome Sean thank you so much!!!!! Our email systems are our main way of
keeping community connected and it's a miracle that they're working as well as
they do considering the attention they get. There are always people trying to
take advantage of email-based systems like it's their job (which i guess it
is)
