I get spam messages to "request" even on a dormant list I have.  Many are
from Korea.  I have also begun to get messages from nonsubscribers
to "request" on my active list that appear to be spam carrying the Klez
virus.
Help!

I tried putting a filter on the inactive list but since it is a moderated
list, Listserv
won't accept the filter.  Or if it does, then it shows the messages as
a bounce and sends an error message.  The sender changes quite often anyway.

Help!
