With no spam filtering on the list, it's sometimes half of all email. Joel

Is there nothing that SourceForge can do? I would have hoped that they would be working on reducing the levels of spam. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Mensching Sent: 22 April 2008 18:29 To: Rob Hamflett; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] wix mailing lists open to public => more spam If anyone has any other opinions on this topic, please do make your voice heard. I'm still following this thread and trying to figure out if I should lock non-members out of the list. I'm still very hesitant to do that since it raises the bar for people just starting to get involved with WiX (and we don't need to make anything *harder* <smile/>). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Hamflett Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 03:58 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] wix mailing lists open to public => more spam There's still a problem if you prefer to use the newsgroup interface (I'm using Thnderbird). You can't delete messages, and the best I think I can do is move them into a separate folder. That might have to suffice if we can't filter them out before they hit the list.

It will also adapt to languages other than English, it might take slightly more time (a couple of dozen additional messages) but it will be just fine.
