IT would nto take much to create a subscription and have that go to some
automation
to capture information. The question is how many listen only members are
there that
have never ever posted a comment?
That is bizarre. I've used the address used to post this message only for
this mailing list for donkeys years now and it has received very close to
zero spam. The most recent spam I received arrived on 24th May 2019.
