Re: spam messages in the amanda-user mailing list
I do not have any experience with majordomo but I know that, with mailman, it is easy to do. If nothing else there could be a line put into the sendmail access file that says REJECT bad.relay.mailserver.mx or just make shure that the person is subscribed before they can send email to the list. Like I said though, I do not run majordomo and I am unfamiliar with how it works. I am just assuming that this can be done.

The offending address that's been relaying these have been blacklisted. -Todd

Personally, I'd like to see the list run on mailman rather than majordomo. The list appears to be hosted on surly.omniscient.com. I'm going to inquire about helping out with the admin of the server and some other options. Until then, I'd suggest getting a real e-mail client like Netscape Messenger and use a message filter on "Sender->Contains" and "toner" then "Move To->Spam" or something like that. -- "Jonathan F.

Re: spam messages in the amanda-user mailing list
As a reminder: If you are at a pay-phone, call the 1-800 number they gave. Tell them you don't LIKE sapm. And walk away knowing that you cost them $0.35 a minute. (they may have a better rate) On Mon, 19 Feb 2001, Ryan Williams wrote: > There are now daily spam messages about toner supplies going to the amanda > mailing list. This is a big annoyance.

spam messages in the amanda-user mailing list
There are now daily spam messages about toner supplies going to the amanda mailing list. This is a big annoyance. Please do something to prevent such a thing from happening again. If needed I can provide headers and the emails that I recieved. Regards, Ryan Williams
