Hi all, Recently there has been a flurry of spam to this mailing list. I'm considering switching the list to "subscriber post only" as a result. If you send from and receive to different addresses (like I do, for example), you need to subscribe your send-from address as a "no mail" address. Would people object to this scheme? -hpa

AFAIK, Vorbis lists use it for non-subscribers, and I don't get any spam there. -- < Jernej Simoncic ><><><><>< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > Any philosophy that can be put "in a nutshell" belongs there. -- Harris's Law
I don't particularly object. I am mostly read-only lurking to make sure that I am up-to-date with the latest features, and less spam is better. It is just too bad that you cannot implement a non-subscriber challenge-response method. That way non-subscribers could still post (without moderator approval) but only after they jump through a small hoop. -- Michael> -----Original Message----- > From: syslinux-bounces at zytor.com > [mailto:syslinux-bounces at zytor.com] On Behalf Of H.

I limited a mailing list I admin to subscriber only, checking the From:, but had to change to full moderation. Spam stoped, but some virus are getting quite smart... I didn't consider checking the envelope address as it's quite inconvenient for someone like me that sends email from different machins on different networks. But I don't object.

I do not object at all. Whatever you can do to cut down the number of spam messages would be greatly appreciated.
