'closing' the lists does not mean that someone not being subscribed can't
send e-mail to the list. It means that a moderator has to approve such postings.
So they are still open to all, only some postings have to be approved.
I'm running an e-mail list like this and all spam has been blocked easily. It
only needs a moderator...
I would prefer if the ethereal lists are run this way. It means that they are
open and (almost) spam free.
Best regards Michael

IMHO, the openness of the Ethereal mailing lists has been a very good thing: It is used for support (ideally ethereal-users, but ethereal-dev too), and it makes it easier for "outsiders" to submit patches or ask question that may lead to patches. Maybe some tuning of the current mailscanner to actually detect the Klez virus would be sufficient. That way, most spam/virii is marked and you can drop it via your procmailrc (or whatever you are using instead).
Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know what proactive means.
