I run a similar list and the only spam I get from it is the administrator's bounce warning. However I suspect this is an open not closed list, i.e. subscription isn't necessary to post? This list was cc'ed recently a note from Jose Kahn/www-talk which began: == Spam activity is increasing on most public lists. In order to reduce the pain to subscribers of this w3c mailing list, we are temporarily closing foreign submissions to it. Q. What does "foreign submission" mean? A. Only subscribers to the list can send messages to it. == How about the same for this list? -- __Alan Richmond________________________________________________________ |_T_h_e___W_e_b___D_e_v_e_l_o_p_e_r's___V_i_r_t_u_a_l___L_i_b_r_a_r_y_| http://Stars.com/ http://WDVL.com/ Merry http://Stars.com/Gallery/Xmas/
