Recently I've made the painful switch to using procmail and some rather elaborate rules to filter out most of the spam I receive. I've also recently made a change to the 400+ person mailing list I run to exclude emails orginating outside of the distribution list (and four years ago we would never have thought of doing that). However, I'm finding that while I enjoy lurking on this quiet list and reading the traffic coming down it, the spam is more frequent than the posts, and I'm tired of spam. Is there any chance that the owner can switch this list to accept email only from a subscribed person? If they can't/won't, I understand and I'll unsubscribe, but I'd rather not. Thanks in advance, Jeffrey. o-----------------------------------o | Jeffrey Watts | | watts at jayhawks.net o-----------------------------------------o | System Administrator | "Proprietary system advocates aren't | | Network Systems Management | evil or stupid.
