Greetings all,
I am announcing a change to the nmh-workers mailing list policy. Effective
today, I am changing the default mailing list action for posts from
non-members from "hold" (meaning: "hold for moderator approval") to
"reject" (you get a bounce message).
I am doing this because dealing with spam on these mailing lists has proven
to take too much of my time. For the few of you (you know who you are)
that like to send email from one mailing address, but receive it to another,
you have a solution: subscribe the "other" address to the mailing list,
but set your options under mailman to not receive messages on one of your
addresses. I do this myself, and it works fine.
If you are unhappy with this policy change, I will gladly turn over list
moderation to whomever asks; I doubt there will be few takers, but hey,
it's always possible.

I'll do it, that policy is insane.
Josh, before you step into the fryingpan, shouldn't you know just how much
spam we're talking about here? It does seem like some sort of automated spam
filtering should make this problem much better, though.
Neither discard nor return seem very appealing I do admit that, but everyone
has
their own tolerance for spam induced compromise.
