Maybe Larry knows more?

PS - sorry if I'm mixing up OPN with EFN & EPUD, it's so hard to keep track of these things in the near post-apocalyptic dot-blowout age of dead burnt dreams... ;) Long live the dream!!

When I stated "moderate" yes I meant "post-by-members-only" (as the EUG-LUG
list is moderated). 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
