Yes I agree. > One possible solution could be limiting posts to list subscribers > however, it's not too difficult to do and doesn't block legitimate users > of the list, spammy though their message may seem to mail servers. That's what I explained I don't want to do because it requires anyone to subscribe in order to participate a conversation. One thing I find very rude with such a system is that sometimes we'll CC someone and when this person responds, he'll get an error. It even happens when replying to old posts including people that are not on the list anymore. There are about 450 subscribers to the list right now, which is little compared to the number of users. This means there is a lot of knowledge outside the list and I really want that users with valuable experience or bug reports can express themselves here without being filtered at the door. If the spam rate grows, we'll see how to improve filtering, but I'd really like to use the subscribers-only method as the last one. Regards, Willy
