And the spammers know this. Yep. Most FreeBSD mailing lists do not use e.g. greylisting or something along those lines. And as a result, a lot of spam gets through. Personally I would definitely welcome a scheme where new posters need to be approved by moderators who can blacklist spammers and whitelist genuine submitters, but there probably isn't enough manpower to make that happen. I for one would be perfectly happy to help, but it would take (a hell of a lot) more than just little old me to do the job. AvW --=20 I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example. --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU9OLMAAoJEAfP7gJTaCe80rwP/1Cq6eZhaXV/Oz0SIkKzI5sN OOFZ1gOlkttqta9WU4gKoUVRVCM0qD0aF+pgWMBYcLPPv+VLKOeZuTurmE2OqEZz ST72rbURTIPzknODWXx9EKlpy1/NM93EX8GL9LguHQIt0MArU1cf4vvEFcvZkofP evE1SY9mWQcrdSol4FUlPefufA8ySxB4r095vbH3QOP2r8DNnM1qcJKdqD1TIBpw Z+k5X8H+tmA8EUIDboptl0KUyHlPWVI7nKSg0xir+ssYt7XGwbcijaO2+P9XNmJA HVKFh6lyyH1QFiQyOYfy/y5bUxvUEZXQGYty4+sVlxANCP9mHAMW8m4Xej4y0dTT hGHQfV2QX8BZoMmW1j65ZGM15fLNYHFWFz1UZbHSWoP1tV8GBGgfwagcP8zLyhnk FcXhNKK6kA6gz/L5oSXvwLzv1G5qo0TpbVgKkai6ykQqAJx+aHYiuyZ6aH6MRvid e8yuqBSiPY6jix66tOTMtpRn2/lDNUJR9xATLrKI6g8lIur1dg3bHmf4Sgn46WGc 8gb9oim/mx0iA+h3n0iMZoqYcKYN2g9GM88nrFZZKmQn1qcg1giXSGzJQ9NHvlcf Ab4Irp9KPZ9rwHaqVUt2iyX9YXxyhS2h7A4k5TvQDsg+O36Qui1nkG/0lakFQ6oa 5yh3Qf1HeSp7ZXRyBfVw =ecZ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SUOF0GtieIMvvwua--
