Let me go check...Oh yes, 78 positive responses since Nov 21st 1997. NOTE - Positive response means that their ISP has responded with :- 1) This person has been warned 2) This account has been closed. No other response counts !!! > Just curious, but is anyone else on this list besides myself taking some > kind of action against the spammers that are hitting it?

Here is my mail and his paraphrased reponse :- Martin> Hello, Martin> you have Spam/UJM coming via your openBsd mailing list. > Martin> Please remove this person's subscription and bar him from re-joining > Martin> OR > Martin> Ensure that only subscribers can post. > Martin> Most mailing lists have a second list of 'allowed senders' for people Martin> that have multiple e-mail addresses > Martin> e.g. work and home. > Martin> Regards...Martin Paraphrased reply from Todd C. Miller <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com It's too inconvenient to make the list members only. I don't think that is a good response, but I've made my suggestion and had a reply so that's it. I tried, I made a good suggestion to let people post from other locations. Selle a Vie. Don't stop complaining to him though. Perhap's he'll change his mind if enough people think it's a problem.
