If we move to "members only" function, is it possible for the list to
automatically notify all subscribers on a regular basis and include
simple instructions about joining, changing and removing e-mail
addresses?
This question keeps coming up. The original e-mail that contained this
text is on a computer that was removed (and cleaned) from service years
ago.

Three cheers! Spammers *LOVE* open lists, because they magnify their
miserable detestable efforts many times over. The other thing we have
had to do, unfortunately, is to remove the list server function for a
member to get a list of the other members. We had a spammer join a list
just so they could get a list of the list's members; it was one of those
outfits that sells those CDs with 1,000,000 addresses to other spammers.
Close the list, solve the problem at the source, relax don't worry and
have a homebrew. In my own experience, the slight administrative effort
to keep everybody disciplined about From: addresses and about not
relying on forwarding, is more than repaid by having practically NO
SPAM.

Can someone do something about the spam? I just have to "stand up", "be
erect", "be solid", and do it longer than ever before, to get this stopped.
