Hello everybody In the light of a likely aggressive spam address managing to subscribe to one of our groups recently, Gordon has now modified the policy regarding new subscribers joining the list. Rather than the usual simple confirmation, new subscribers must now also be approved by either us or one of the assistant list controllers before they are permitted to join the group.
Obviously as you're currently subscribed this won't affect you' but should you ever leave and then wish to return, it's something you'll need to know about. As a side issue, we have recently had several members leave the group when they've gone on holiday, (vacation), and didn't want their mailboxes cluttered upon their return. Unsubscribing isn't necessary to prevent this; all you have to do is send an email to the server with the appropriate commands to turn of delivery until your return. if you'd like to know how to do this, either read the help document at <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/List-Portal.html> or contact us for further information. We regret the change, but as a result of us opting to use Google to provide a second archive page for list traffic, we believe that it has compromised our security somewhat and so we've had to take this decision now, before things got out of control. We are also looking at whether it's worth continuing to use Google as a second archive provider; if anybody uses that archive or if anybody has any views on that we'd love to hear them (off list). We will shortly be compartmentalising the support addresses we use for each network, so stand by for a message to that effect as well. But for now, please use <[email protected]> Gordon is home now although still very delicate. We are taking the opportunity while his activity is restricted to discuss this and other things which we are planning. We hope to bring you more news shortly. We will update the list policy document accordingly, to reflect this change in policy which, we regret, we think will now have to remain permanent.
