The recent SPAM messages, and a suggested solution

B

Barak, Ron

Hi,

I think most of us are annoyed by the recent SPAM messages that crept onto our list.
I'd like to suggest a possible solution, and maybe start a thread that eventually will rid us of this unpleasantness.

My idea:

Once every few messages from the list owners, they would send a new numerical string that will have to be included in members' list submission.
A message being submitted without this numeric string will be re-routed to /dev/null.
The current string will be announced on the messages being send to new members upon registration.

Since SPAM is sent in bulk, this may be a rather complete solution.

Bye,
Ron.
