Can we stop forwarding all the spam to the mailing list?
How about making this list subscriber only. This would stop the spam.
Is there anybody that posts here that is not on the list?

Bob et al,
The Barn has been upgraded (faster cpu, more memory).
Sytems have been rebuilt as they are discovered.
Spam tool is "detecting" the spam, but isn't disposing of
it. My gues s is a simple toggle is required to get us
back on track.
Russ: can you look into this?
Cheers,
Jim

Subscribed to post is an option but the consensus has been that
the spam filter works well enough and restricting posts means
that people with multiple email accounts won't be able to post
except from the one account they are subscribed with.
But Jim can make the decision and affect the change since
he has full list admin priv.

I have advocated this for a long time. Restricting posting to
subscribers only effectively eliminates all spam on the Chicago Beer
Society list which I manage. It does impose a slight additional
administrative hassle, because you have to take action when somebody
changes their email address - you cannot just let forwarding take care
of it. But that's pretty minor, compared to be inundated with spam or
trying to keep spam-blocking software working.
