Is there anyway we can stop this 'need Employee' or other kinds of spam that seems to infiltrate this mailing list?
The problem is that the list owners have made the decision that it will not be closed to public posts - on the grounds that many people needing help will not 'jump through the hoops' required to subscribe. This means that the list is open to spam from anyone. I know it's possible for a spammer to subscribe and then spam, but that requires a reasonable manual effort - but it does prevent automatic spamming to list addresses.
Personally I disagree with that decision, but I don't run the list. I believe that it's the only list I'm on that allows public posting.

PS - I won't post again on the subject and add to the noise.
