We're doing what we can about those. Mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
thing will not be seen here again, and neither will a lot of that
spam being forwarded from Qwest (who bought out sni.net and then
left an auto-forwarder on autopilot to forward mail from our old
address to the new one. I can't get anyone at Qwest to do
anything about that so we are now blocking all mail from sni.net
and csn.net domains.)
For the other spam we are using the Realtime Blackhole Service to
limit the junk. If it continues to be a problem we can always
lock down the list, and only allow subscribers to post mail. Or
we could delay mail until a moderator can approve it (there is a
volunteer willing to do that.)
