[FRIAM] Subscription Requests

[Owen Densmore]

We've got quite a large set of subscription requests, over 200, for
Friam, most looking pretty bogus.

Let me know if you know of someone trying to get on the list and
having difficulty, I can moderate them in.

Speaking about pfishing and passwords recently, this poses an
interesting problem: how to "vet" new requests.  I suppose we could
scan the list for anyone we might know.  Some are hilarious! .. like
spa...@dirtjunkie.com!

But grepping for cybermesa and folks who also left names turned up
someone asking to join at the last friam meeting at St Johns, so I
moderated them in.

I've sorted by domain, getting a lot of yahoo, gmail, and hotmail
users, also facebook, oddly enough, I didn't realize they offered a
mail service.

If you could help with an algorithmic stunt that would help, let me know.

Yeah, when they came out with it Facebook was billing it as the
"email-killer" - well, we see how that turned out.
Apropos:spam, apparently FileZilla Forums blocks users from signing up
using a Gmail, citing spam. I am not sure where most spam comes from, but
it seems a little unfair to single out one provider...
