Hi all,
I am monitoring them all now.. Seems like it is happy for now..
I am on a few Yahoo groups and yes.. spam is a big problem on those.
The web based ones seem much easier for the bogus accounts to find
and spam.
As long as I can find a way to keep this running smoothly I have no
problems keeping it going as it is. For now the last fix seems to
have gotten thru some of the junk that was clogging it up. I would
like to setup a system so that a few others can help out when I do
not notice things getting stuck.
I am not sure that I can get the system setup before I leave for
Japan but I will continue to monitor the system when I am there. Matt
has been great to let me know when things get stuck. If people who
want to help out can let me know I will let those know when the
system is ready.
Thanks for everyone's support over the years.

And web-based groups are very vulnerable to SPAM. From what I've
seen, they seem to need someone constantly monitoring it. Dan's
server software has been doing a fantastic job in that respect up
until recently when SPAM has been throwing monkey wrenches into the
gears on a regular basis.
Have you been in direct email contact with Dan David? He might be
monitoring the list now, what with the recent problems. He might
miss your post. I don't think he checks the messages here on a
regular basis. That seems to be a duty I've sort of taken on in
the past 2-3 years, and get to Dan when the server get's hung up.
He's been kicking it in the side each time, and has been meaning to
set up new software. But like me probably, as long as the old dog
keeps trotting forward after a fresh 'bowl of doggy chow'... it's
easy to put off the more major task of setting up a whole new
software installation.

That's also something, along with Yahoo and other web-based
group options
that have come up in the past as well. The only thing with a web-
based group
is that it doesn't allow non-web-based users access, and has the
limitations of
such (hard to archive messages you receive, of interest, etc.).
The other problem lies with the access to the postings. It's
very/extremely
difficult to migrate a web-based group to another site because
usually , they
do not allow full access to the entire mailing list archive
database, but
rather one message at a time.
If indeed Google dropped/changed/etc the terms and/or service,
then what?
