We're getting more spam now. There are a number of options open to us:
what mailing list software are you using ?? we're using mailman on our servers, and this makes option 2 and 3 very easy and managable... 1. I have not done as far as I know... I think that 4 is a little dificult, you can setup the mail server to use RBL/ORBS, but in my experience the spammers change addrees regularly an this becomes a little pointless 5. will take up somebody's valuable time and is will be a managment nightmare... I vote 2 or 3.. I'm easy ;).. Sz
1. 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?
2. We can lock the list down so that only subscribed addresses can sent without being approved.
3. We can lock the list down so that only emails with [Alug] in the subject line are allowed through.
4. We can try to fight a rear-guard action and try to block obvious spammers.
5. We can hold anything which looks like it might possibly be spam for approval
6. We can ask Brett to hook the list software up to ORBS or MAPS.
Opinions/votes? I hope that option 1 would work, but I quite like option 3 too.
