We do have a subscribe confirmation requirement - and the spammers still
get around it. qth.net and we are too big of a target.
Let's end this thread. Its taking up way too much bandwidth on the list.
Also, guys, please do not try to moderate the list. I'll jump in as
needed. If you think a thread needs moderation, please email me instead
of posting to the list.

It is absolutely needed. Without it we have had literally hundreds of
spammers 'subscribe' to the list and attempt to post. We still see
the attempts here daily.
Wow....they don't have a subscribe option that requires confirmation?
That eliminates a lot of spammers....but then again, some one has to
read the messages for the sign ups that fail.
