Maybe a spam-filter could be added to the majordomo thingy? (I know nothing of such technology!) At the risk of being tedious on this subject, accepting spam on an e-mail group is totally unnecessary. Majordomo has a 99.9% effective solution already built in if the list owner chooses to turn it on: requiring posts to come only from subscribers to the list. However, as long as some users of the group insist on being able to post messages from non-subscribing e-mail accounts--a practice I don't understand, any more than I would understanding someone turning on their transceiver and immediately keying the mic without listening first--then apparently we will have to live with spam spam spam spam eggs and spam.... The miracle is that there's not already more of it on this list. The non-KEV curmudgeon, John
