A number of our more active Announce Only lists (Send=Editor, Hold, Confirm, All) have been getting hammered since mid-January.
I think our solution is going to be a wholesale change from Editor to Owner (,Confirm) for all of our lists. We’ve already unplugged most of the feedback LISTSERV gives to unauthorized users but the spammers have a long memory it seems.

If your real concern is non-members, and you would prefer not to moderate members’ posts at all, you should probably just use
Send= Private
Then non-member’s posts are simply rejected out of hand.

Thanks Nathan!
If my real concern were just non-members would
Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm,Non-Member
Send= (listname)
Would this allow members to post, but block non-members unless approved?

Add “,Non-Member” to the Editor= setting. E.g.,
Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm,Non-Member
Makes unsubscribed senders confirm their own messages before they are forwarded to the editor. Note that you MUST also specify “,Confirm” with “,Non-Member” if it is not already specified. That requires Editors to confirm their own postings as well, which is a feature every moderated list should utilize (IMHO).

We implemented spam filters in postfix, which we could do because we control the Linux server in addition to listserv.

Hi,
We have seen a huge surge in spam directed to lists that are configured as
Send= Editor ...
The editors can reject it, but it is becoming a flood. How are others dealing with this?
