Spoken like a true spammer. Spammers often defend their actions by saying "you can always delete it." Well, that's just not good enough for me. It, most certainly, WOULD help to limit posting to subscribers. It might not stop all the spam but it would some. Personally, I'd like to see the lists moved to a web bulletin board type forum. Then you don't get e-mails for subjects that aren't of interest and you can browse and post (if registered/subscribed) from any browser. The archives are nice but you can't post without an e-mail account. Spammers prefer e-mail so using a forum might even stop more spam. I'm pretty sure FreeBSD could handle a web based forum :) Just my 2 cents, OF > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Chris Byrnes > Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 10:44 PM > To: Mitch Collinsworth > Cc: Colin Faber; freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: Donation For Earthquake Relief Work > > > > > On Fri, 30 Mar 2001, Colin Faber wrote: > > > > > > > Come on guys, This is getting old, Can you block this junk? > > > > > > How would you suggest that is done?
