Thanks for clarification. But do you not manually approve all subscriptions to the list? You are either lucky or the list I support is just a very unlucky target? Appx 50 spam's a day show up in Mailman admin on a list I help support which runs on lists.opn.org Mailman server (EFN hosting). I have emailed the list server admin, support and postmaster addresses without a response regarding spam filtering issues or updating Mailman server software. Was hoping someone on this list might have connection to EFN Hosting or OPN. ;-) You can view the list of Mailman upgrades and security patches released during the last two years at www.list.org _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
