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
- 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?
- We can lock the list down so that only subscribed addresses can
sent without being approved.
- We can lock the list down so that only emails with [Alug] in the
subject line are allowed through.
- We can try to fight a rear-guard action and try to block obvious
spammers.
- We can hold anything which looks like it might possibly be spam for
approval
- 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.
