The only downside to this is that there are a few dozen amongst the 254 who subscribe to the reflector that post from other than their nominal e-mail address, e.g. from a work e-mail address as well as home. They would have to subscribe from their alternative e-mail address and suffer duplicate delivery of all e-mails, since there isn't an option to set "no mail" on the current version of majordomo, the reflector's operating system. Medium-term the sysop is planning to change from majordomo to mailman. This has the "no mail" option as well as other useful features. Grateful for comments "for" or "against" limiting e-mails to those from subscriber e-mail accounts. I'm particularly interested in those who normally access the reflector from more than one e-mail address, since all others benefit by a reduction, if not elimination, of spams without any downside. 73 John, G3WKL -----Original Message----- From: majordom@post.thorcom.com [mailto:majordom@post.thorcom.com]On Behalf Of John W Gould Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 21:34 To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Subject: LF: RE: Junk mail via lf reflector I'll take this up with the sysop... John, G3WKL -----Original Message----- From: majordom@post.thorcom.com [mailto:majordom@post.thorcom.com]On Behalf Of Dave Sergeant Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 16:05 To: rsgb_lf_group Subject: LF: Junk mail via lf reflector There have been a number of instances recently (one today) of spam being sent via the lf reflector. The reflector is in fact configured so that anybody can post (try it with one of your alternate email addresses), but obviously only those subscribed will receive postings. Perhaps it is time to change this, ie so that only those subscribed can post. Perhaps the sysops of the list would comment. Spam is getting more and more of a nuisance. 73s Dave G3YMC dsergeant@iee.org dsergeant@btinternet.com http://www.dsergeant.btinternet.co.uk
