I've tried getting mailman to reject posts from non-members. I remember that this didn't work before: it just kept them all in a queue and then sent lots of messages to me telling me to sort it out, which is worse for me than letting them through and having gmail delete them before I see them. One option would be to point the mailing list owner address to a dummy account and forget about it, but it does mean that genuine messages (e.g. ones that are held due to having large screenshots attached) would never get seen. Let me know if you have trouble posting (NB: my first attempt at posting this failed as I was still subscribed under my old address!) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gavin Wraith Date: Aug 21, 2006 8:34 AM Subject: rox-user list Dear Thomas Leonard I have just unsubscribed from the rox-users mail list. This is not because of any animus against ROX which I continue to admire, but because, since subscribing to the list I have been bombarded with spam, some purporting to come from the list. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that whoever is managing your mail list has not been sufficiently rigorous in matters of security. The result, no doubt I am one of many, means that yet another source of spam has my email address. This cannot be doing you any good either. I suggest you broadcast to all members of the list and change your mail list server pronto. -- Gavin Wraith -- Dr Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 |
