Bah, chill!

In any case, *WHOW* the mailinglist is really receiving A LOT of spam
recently. It surprises me, it's never been this bad (virtually spamless).
It's not that spamming activity has recently raised to a new level or
something, I've always been receiving spam on my previous email address
(fortunately not on my new one)... I really vote for closing this list for
outside messages, filtering HTML messages only doesn't do much good. People
who are not subscribed to the list but want to post something to it can
(temporarily) subscribe, and people who don't use the same account for
receiving as for sending can probably find a workaround (multiple accounts
in Outlook Express or something, not as convenient but it works). These
would be nice measures to get us rid of all this f*ckin' spam.

Perhaps in the future the mailinglist could be enhanced to give subscribing
people the option not to receive email from the list, and to maintain
multiple email aliases for one mailinglist account (although that can also
be achieved by subscribing those aliases as 'silent' accounts). This could
perhaps also be done through a new (empty) mailinglist, which requires
subscribing but does not distribute messages to its members, and forwards
them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead. However it would be nicer to incorporate it in
the 'real' mailinglist, because that would be easier for all of us. Another
advantage of such an option would be that it is possible to temporarily
disable the receiving of mailinglist messages when you - for example - are
going on a holiday.

Alas, my thoughts on this.
