Again i point out the benefite of a forum in this perticular manner. It has become apparent that there is someone on this list serve taking email addresses and sending spam (to its individuals and not directly to the list) because i created this email addess specifically for this list serve It is not listed online anywhere or registered on any webpages. But i started getting spam in it just hours after sending my first message to the list. On a forum this would not happen
That's a complete and total lie. OOTB (Out of the box) phpBB implements no e-mail munging or otherwise spam protection. Just FYI.

Jason i think you have misread me Im not saying that the phpBB system would have spam runing through it Im saying that on this list serv someone is spaming. They are not spamming to the list they are spamming email accounts instead. I have used phpBB and it works just fine both from a user and an admin end. i would prefer it for THIS reason but there are still reasons i would NOT like to use it. What part may i ask is the lie? -----Original Message----- From: icecast-bounces@xiph.org [mailto:icecast-bounces@xiph.org]On Behalf Of Jason S Salaz Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 12:41 PM To: icecast@xiph.org Subject: Re: [Icecast] Froums That's a complete and total lie.

When you set up phpBB, the admin can specify defaults. They include "Make email address private" and "Allow members to receive private messages" The admin would set they defaults to "yes" and "no" respectively. That means the member would have to take an action (change a setting in his profile or on an individual post) for his email address to be exposed.
