Is there anyway we can stop this 'need Employee' or other kinds of spam that seems to infiltrate this mailing list? Joe
lol - couple of us have replied to the message asking for filter/etc to stop it already, but figure no one read the 'Re: [samba] need employee' messages... Created a client side filter myself just to trash them, but thought I'd reply and at least add some support for your thread here - spam hasn't been too bad on this list, but they are getting increasingly annoying and frequent. -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+nvidican=wmptl.com@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+nvidican=wmptl.com@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Joe Cipale Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 1:49 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] kill this damn spam...

He/She had auto-receive turned on. I don't believe we will be seeing additional items from them. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

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.
