Message: [QUOTE="Aaron Turner, post: 4641265"] Frank, First, let me say I appreciate the contributions that people who post via NNTP. I honestly don't want this to become an "us vs them" situation where mailing list users like myself call for tearing down the gateway. At the same time, it's clear that the spam to the list is coming via NNTP. Perhaps people who are used to reading many newsgroups have just become accustomed to the spam and/or have great anti-spam tools, but many email users have found well run mailing lists to be one of the few spam-free havens on the internet. Honestly, if it wasn't for ruby's rapid development which makes lists like this necessary for staying on top of what's new I probably would of unsubscribed long ago in disgust. Simply put, if you don't find my proposed solution workable, then please provide a better one which has the impact of stopping the spam (keeping the headers while nice, won't accomplish that). Another option, is do what the svn-users list does- have moderators approve messages from email addresses which are not subscribed. Yes, this means if you're not subscribed, then your post gets delayed. However, if you have enough mods across different timezones then it's usually an acceptable delay. If not, you can always subscribe as I mentioned above. I'll take it one step further and offer up to be a moderator for a minimum of 1 year. --=20 Aaron Turner [URL]http://synfin.net/[/URL] [URL]http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/[/URL] - Pcap editing and replay tools for Unix & Win= dows Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin [/QUOTE]
