While this is in some ways a security issue, it will be better if any follow-ups are addressed to [email protected] and not to [EMAIL PROTECTED] First of all, what kind of list is this? Is it a discussion list where all members are allowed to post or an announcement list where only one or a few people post? If the latter, see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.011.htp> for suggestions on configuring such a list and <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.034.htp> for a further discussion on 'spoof proofing'. If it is a discussion list, make sure only list members are allowed to post. On the web admin interface, Privacy options...->Sender filters->generic_nonmember_action should be discard or possibly reject or hold, but not accept. In any case, it is best if your own email server administrators at Rutgers install some spam filtering ahead of Mailman so the spam doesn't reach Mailman in the first place. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
