Aha... The old trick of steal a subscriber's address, and post to the list using it, thereby spamming the list. I haven't seen that for some years now. Not a lot you can do, short of requiring authentication, as SMTP was never designed with security in mind. Best you can do is run some sort of DNSBL check against posters, so had the malware site been listed then it would've been refused. As it happens, it's listed at a number of sites, but you'd need to balance running a spam-free list against losing subscribers posting from spammy ISPs... -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Bliss is a MacBook with a FreeBSD server." http://www.horsfall.org/spam.html (and check the home page whilst you're there) _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
