Brian, and all, sorry but I've been traveling so I've been a bit behind.
I see the spam as well but am unsure exactly what to do about it. According to the settings, only subscribed members can post to this list. So in theory it means that the spammers are signing up to send the spam. That seems a bit incredible - but maybe they really are. We _could_ consider switching to a closed list where folks have to ask permission to join - or we could use a web based admin with CAPTHA, but if spammers are going through the trouble now to sign up, that won't stop them. I suppose we could consider making the spam filters tighter for this domain. Rob - what do you think? On 1/2/07, Brian Meloche <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am just noticing this thread... I have noticed the spam's coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you change the owner of this to a different address, and block emails from cfcdev-owner from sending to the listserv, you should see this stopping. I also use Mailman for the Cleveland CFUG and MMUG (now AUG) listservs. Although i haven't seen the same problem, both lists get a LOT of spam attempts (100+ per week per list) that don't make those lists that I still have to deal with behind the scenes... very annoying and time consuming, since I have to individually remove each one from the pending request list.
