I've seen more posts by people who weren't subscribed and asked to be cc'd than I've seen spam. Making the list subscribers only would only hinder the the lucky spammers, and stop more people genuinely asking for help. I have seen more spam in the past few weeks, but it's better than google. For some reason, even though I don't speak anything other than English, email with Asian characters is not spam. On 5/8/2013 7:26 PM, Julian H.
