I think this should 'activate' people who are reading it 'from the outside' to participate in the discusion. They have two options IMO: 1. They agree with the fact the spam is going out of control and support the idea of closing the list for non-subscribers. To be able to post again they'd need to join the list. 2. They object against it resulting in possibly even more spam which may result in active people to leave the list. If we'd REALLY want to stop spam, the mailinglist archive on msxnet.org should be stopped and everybody should subscribe with another email address, since blocking is done on email addresses. That wouldn't be nice to the MSX-community, shutting it down in such a way. >I have sent mails to "abuse@" addresses of several ISPs in the past, but >usually there is only an automated reply, sometimes not even that. It seems >they just don't care. Pretty useful... setting up an email account to report abuse to and just leave it that. No action whatsoever when somebody IS reporting abuse, just an automated e-mail at most.
