I can moderate group subscription... but since it will be bothering some ppl
(as I might be away from the comp for a weekend) and we're not flooded yet,
I didn't turn it on. I've banned a few addresses, we'll see what happens in
the near future.

fyi - seems Yahoo has adopted a new approach to
handling SPAM the last few days.  Since then more is
getting to my email as well.

Just a guess, but it will probably take a few days for
the new system to stabilize and catch these $%@#$

So it explains

It's infesting many other lists too. I've talked with M-.-n in private and
gave him my list of other spammers coming from yahoo. I understand his
concern upon the moderation of new members or not. To stay with the actual
system yet not have any side effects (spams) it is important to do the
following:

!!!NEVER ANSWER ON THE LIST ONCE A SPAMMER HAS SHOWN ITS UGLY HEAD!!!

he will get you address this way (receiving the mail at home). Let the admin
eject the offender and then write freely.

Fortunately M-.-n has been very responsive, other list don't have this luck.

Thanks Dennis,

On the other hand, I don't know how effective ban is. I don't think they
reuse email addresses that much

They do re-use addresses, I've had the case this WE ;)

But the most important is not to post till they are banned from the group
:-/ (one more time so that everyone is fed up of it ;)))

Lets go back to make some noise uh? :D
