IMHO this is quite relevant. If you don't want people to comment on the
spam then how about you show leadership here.
There probably is a way - perhaps a direct tap into orbs - BUT that would
affect us more than them. See - if they ISP the emails are originating
from is in say ORBS then all mail from that ISP will get bounced - hense
we will not get it... But - if one of OUR members is running through that
ISP that that members posts - not the deliveries - just the posts will
also get blocked.
Now - in order for said jokers to dump the mail into the server - they
must first join the group. We can block it by dropping their membership.
However - they will just rejoin. This is still controllable because wit a
little effort we can screen the junk from new members and if fact automate
the expel process. They will catch on quickely. If it takes them a
considerable amount of work to join and we can expel them quickly - they
will soon grow tired and look for greener pastures.
Perhaps Ralph should look into this. But it might make more sense for
some savy programmers and sysadmins to help Ralph because I'm sure he is
up to his eyeballs in real work and not dealing with these nuisanses.
