As a quick update, we've implemented some list settings last week to help to keep spam off the list. New subscribers are moderated until we're comfortable with their posts...
I dislike this change - how long are subscribers considered "new"?
I applaud this change. If I still traveled, I'd show up to the next NANOG, and buy the committee a beer. Instead, I send them my thanks.
I run a couple of mailing lists, and every once in a while, someone will subscribe and set off my cynicism meter. I hit the moderate button on the new account, and sad to say, I've only been wrong to do so once, out of the last ten times I did it.
Thanks again. -- "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
