Yes but I don't think it has been that big of an issue looking at the archive. Though we should all agree on "how much spam per week" is enough to get this list moderated. <div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/18 Mike Ezell <<a href="mailto:linux@mikeezell.org">linux@mikeezell.org</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Your suggestion for handling this type of situation is "spot on" IMHO.

I've blocked the exterior messages, however this one came from within the list. It looks like fubar sent it to this list using a member's email. I've sent an email to the member, and wanted to make sure that everyone is on board that if this type of email hits the list what you would like me to do. As you may or may not know, 99.9% of the spam is blocked and discarded by one of the administrators after review, unless someone is a subscriber to the list, if that is the case, it just flies right through. I would propose that if I see this again, I will put the email account in question on "moderate" which means that all their messages to the list must be reviewed by one of the list administrators. If we see these messages continue, the user will be unsubscribed and banned from the list. The other option, which I don't really want, is a completely moderated list. Now I don't want to be draconian, but I don't want to see this list become a spam dumping ground. Since we are a community, I wanted to ask for input from you, the community, how you want to handle it? -- - Bret </blockquote> </div> -- Ubuntu-us-pa mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-pa@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-pa@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-pa" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-pa</a> </blockquote></div> -- Christopher Houdeshell (814) 441-3863
