hi all, I have had to take some actions to prevent this mailing list from becoming a SPAM archival system!
This is what has been done so far: - I have just made both the Alchemi lists private. - I have also set some default options for filtering messages from non-members - We now require all new members to get admin approval before subscription is confirmed and they can post messages. I hope this will reduce / prevent unwanted email in the list. I am yet to find out how to clean up past / existing SPAM messages in the list, and also remove unwanted members from the list. Jonathan, would you be willing to volunteer to admin the mailing lists? atleast one of them? If so, please send me a private email and we can plan to clean up and manage these lists better. Cheers Krishna. Jonathan Mitchem wrote: > Seems there's not anything I can do.
