Hello! Not possible on that suggestion. Spammers multiply faster then rabbits. As to your comment about having to be a member of a list to be able to send to it, you are quite correct. An investigation is in order to sort out why and prevent it from happening. Especially since there is a theme, all of them are about made up companies and their made up stocks.
I have a better suggestion, lets all permanently switch to using plain text on our mail programs, and then have the list service reject everything sent in HTML format. (I don't know if you have noticed Scott, but all of those annoying items were sent that way and contained an embedded image. Which was the stupid message. The moronic text was supposed to annoy the perennially broken filtering methods that some programs use. Then see my next line why.) Also we could have the service configured to reject attachments. Anyone who is a member who needs to send one, such as a patch, would need to send a reminder to one of the regular developers first, and the list Owner. Who by rights should be managing the list properly to prevent that spamming problem from happening. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Force will be with you. Always."
