Actually no moderation is necessary. The problem with the current setup
is that one allows anybody to e-mail to the list and the list address is
on the net. Therefore the robots the spammers use harvest this address
and will use it. If one closed the list, but had a form to fill out in
case one isn't on the list, the spam problem would go away. The mail
could be forwareded to the list by the form with no problem as no
spammer would sit and fill this out himself. I have done this for my web
page and it works. See:

I can give you the php source if you like.

Okay, I will change things to use this... It might be a few days since
I am quite busy nowadays... And then there will be some test mails from
me, so please bear with that...

I have put the system for download here:

(see bottom of page)

so anybody interested can use it on their web-pages.

If you want I can send you a mail with it as attachment too.
