RE: Cash Prizes Win!
[ Ketil Malde asks about recent spam on Haskell mailing lists... ] How about disallowing non-subscribers from posting? This list is my main source of spam these days. (Effective filtering is your friend) My apologies for this spam that got through. Mailman's automatic filtering catches *most* of the spam bound for the list - there are usually a few messages per day. The ones that get through are very much the exception, but it does occasionally happen. I could turn on subscriber-only posting if there's a consensus to do that. It might be inconvenient in that you have to post from the same account that you read Haskell mail from though, and I know some people have separate email accounts just for receiving Haskell mail. What do people think? Also, what do people think about the volume of Conference-related announcements sent to the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED] in particular)? Most of these get caught by the filter, and I tend to disallow only those that have no connection to programming language research at all. This could be tightened to Haskell-related or functional programming-related conferences only. Cheers, Simon ___ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell

It might be inconvenient in that you have to post from the same account that you read Haskell mail from though, and I know some people have separate email accounts just for receiving Haskell mail. I also run an email list using Mailman. Anytime a subscriber sends a message from a 'wrong' address, Mailman catches it, and I simply subscribe that address 'nomail', and approve the message. Also, what do people think about the volume of Conference-related announcements sent to the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED] in particular)? I'm not really bothered by the way it is... -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA ___ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
