This is mostly for the admins of the gnhlug-org mailing list... The -org list has been getting an unacceptably high number of foreign language spams. And I'm getting tired of disposing of them.
After dealing with this for a few months, I've decided that the list address is getting on more and more spamming lists because mailman always sends out a response when it gets a message from a non-subscriber. The response is typically, and in english, something to the effect of "Your message is being held for approval". I suspect this is encouraging the non-English spammers into sending more spam because they think there's a "live someone" behind the address. So, I've decided to turn off the auto-response mechanism in mailman. What this means is that if you send a message to the list from an unsubscribed address, then you will never know if the message did or did not get posted. This will probably make it a bit more difficult for newbies to self-diagnose their problems, but I figure we don't have too many newbies on the -org list. --Bruce _______________________________________________ Gnhlug-org mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org
