Spam on list

[Dan Wilder]

Folks,

I gotta say I've run out of patience with the spam on the list.

In my experience most mailing lists are operated as members-only
lists.  This single config setting keeps the spam down to manageable 
levels.  For those lists which need to accept non-member posting,
mostly either some reasonable filter is used, or somebody takes
the responsibility to moderate the list.

Yes, I could run a spam content filter myself, and no, I'm not
doing so at the moment.  I _am_ taking other measures, in an attempt
to cut down company-wide on spam by blocking spam sources, and those
other measures exhaust the time I have available to fiddle with spam.

Regretfully I must say that in this case the spammers have won.  
I'll be unsubscribing shortly.
