I don't see this as a moderator job.
It's a Robot job.
Extract 'from' address
Compare address with subscribers
if no hit, then return to sender as error.
EXCEPT THAT: there are legitimate posts of great interest to the List
and to collectors, which come from non-subscribers.. the Robot, while an
interesting idea, is pre-destined to throw the baby out with the
bathwater.
I still will volunteer to 'screen' the non-subscriber posts, if a way
can be devised to send them to me first. NOT the whole traffic, however,
just the Phoren ones.
Thanks go to all the people staying on topic lately.
Two spams is nothing. BTW the idiocy of that guy
with the four items was in sending items 1..3 at all.
Item 4 itself was pretty OK, a wire recorder, wasn't it?
A fairly common ( as such things go) dictating / early phone answering
machine. Interesting? Yup. On Topic? Welll....
