1) Ok, here are the two things I was considering doing
to change the mailing
list settings....
A) Reject posts to the list which contain any kind of HTML content. I think
this would be fairly unobtrusive - most people don't want HTML posts here
anyways. And - I would bet that most all SPAM contains some form of HTML, so
this might not get rid of all SPAM forever, but I think it would make the
very few that come here dwindle to even less. Comments?
I think that is a very good idea, but the sender should be made aware of
exactly why their message was rejected.
B) I also like the 'self-policing' idea of
making posts to the list from
non-subscribers get a subject tag of [OL] or something like that. This one I
am not sure how to do off the top of my head, but would think it pretty
straightforward. Comments?
I think that's also a very good idea.
