You dont necessarily have to force people to become members. Just ensure that all anonymous posts are be moderated, and the problem is solved. The spam, viruses and anonymous posts get redirected to one administrators inbox, who agrees to put up with them, and legit anonymous posts are allowed into the list from there. Everyone is happy. I've set this up for a couple of lists I manage after problems with spam, and it works well. I do agree with Lance, though, about the irony of the fact that we're generating more mail discussing this than the spammers themselves :) -Patrick -- RedHerring: Linux wiki support and tutorials http://covox.sepwich.com/linux CECID: The CEnsorship CIrcumvention Device http://cecid.sf.net ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
