6 april 1995 Ottawa One quick fix for controlling spam on a list is to make it moderated. The moderator will have to rreview everything sent to the list to approve it, and some people may consider this Fascist censorship but it certainly stops spam and flames in their tracks. I also stand by my previous comment about making all lists: subscribe open, by owner send: private and verify all. This can slow down hit and run artists. Does make for more work but when the spam is over, the list can once again be un-moderated.
