What is being done to stop the spam in the Gimp mailing lists? I recive
about 3 to 4 new ones a day. Procmail strips them out so I can LART them
but something needs to be done.

Hi,
If anyone on this list received spam mail appearing to come this site,
eg, from [EMAIL PROTECTED] It was a forgery, if you check the
header you will see that it did not originate here.
I can only apologise for my inadequate security.

closed to subscribers only, the amount of spam would be reduced if not
eliminated because you'd have to be subscribed to spam the list and

The text tool offers the opportunity to change line spacing, but not letter

Even on a T3, I still don't want to download (well, accept) SPAM
just on principle. BTW, I don't like egroups.com for a simpler
reason than advertisments. I just prefer .org and .
Can we drop the SPAM / List Server thread and get back to the topic at
hand?
The Gimp!
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Propose to me how I can get the list information via egroups without
downloading the ads. It may be possible, I don't know. I know I can
strip it out

makes every email they send half spam and half list mail.

you obviously dont have to download around 500k of spam a day over a modem

egroups.com attaches banner SPAM to EVERY POST! Good gawd! Just

If a list member spams us we'll lynch'em

other lists operate on a 'subscriber only' basis and check the from/to

hi,
sorry, but if I keep getting SPAM from this mailling list (the last
supposedly coming from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" - it only takes 2 seconds to

Reply-To:
Well is seems that whatever method got the gimp userlist on that previous spam, got it
on another one. I would urge the list maintainers to restrict posting to the list from
members only or otherwise alot of people will probably unsubscribe. here is the header

Another mailing list I was on had trouble with spam, so the administrator
configured it not to accept mail from non-members, which seemed to work
pretty well. Is that possible here, and is there anybody who would object?
