Hello LF-Group,

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.

... I believe the reason for this spam-mail is that some of us (me
included) have posted the rsgb reflector e-mail address on their websites,
so that new LF hams have access to this valuable tool to exchange
information.

Obviously some meta-crawlers search the Internet and try to find useful
e-mail addresses where they can send their spam mail to. It also happens
from time to time that I get mail to my own e-mail address that I posted as
a contact address at my website.

I think Dave's suggestion to limit the access to this reflector to
subscribers would stop this.
