We're getting more spam now. There are a number of options open to us:
Recruit Vikings :o) sorry poor Montey Python reference.
- Can whoever has posted our mailing list address on a web site
*please* remove it again and email alug-admin@stu.uea.ac.uk to let us know?
Yes they should, thats a good idea.
- We can lock the list down so that only subscribed addresses can
sent without being approved.
Sounds like a good idea, I know many lists which work that way.
- We can lock the list down so that only emails with [Alug] in the
subject line are allowed through.
No definatly not, this means we have to put [alug] in every time, and you only need one typo to bounce the message.
- We can try to fight a rear-guard action and try to block obvious
spammers.
Doubt this would be practical
- We can hold anything which looks like it might possibly be spam
for approval
I know of mailing lists where evry post must be approved! But I don't think its a good idea, you only need the approver to get sent away on business at short notice and we are screwed.
- We can ask Brett to hook the list software up to ORBS or MAPS.
Na.
7. set up a Alug-adverts list for people to post to which get put on a webpage for us to view if we so desire.
Opinions/votes? I hope that option 1 would work, but I quite like option 3 too.
see above.
Thanks
