List spammers located, LARTs launched

Ok... I don't know about the rest of you, but I've about had it up to my eyeballs with the soulless morons who keep spamming CLASSICCMP. I just sent off an E-mail to Derek Peschel asking... 1). That the list be configured to accept DIRECT (unscreened) postings ONLY from subscribers. 2). That I be permitted to volunteer to screen all non-subscriber postings before either (a), passing them on (and if they have even the slightest connection to subjects on CLASSICCMP, be assured that they would get passed on promptly), or (b), tossing them in the bit bucket. Since I seem to be the most experienced spam-fighter in the group (and I'm open for challenge on that), #2 made sense. It would allow me to trace back and LART spammers without their crap ever being seen by the list members. If you have any thoughts on this one way or another, please address them to Derek (dpeschel(a)u.washington.edu) with a CC to me. Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.
