Before we start in on another round of "I'm calling the FBI" is there some
way to use these constant spammish reminders in a good way, that is to
force us to look seriously at how mailing list design eases the door open
for the garbage and makes tracing it difficult? A few quick thoughts (I'm
not married to either of them):
o - outbound remailings ought to include the Received: headers (CERN <?>
lisproc does this)
o - postings containing certain 'trigger words' (yoshio, "Magazine
Sub","natvan") maybe ought to be gated over to the list owner for review
before passing them along?
Just a few thoughts, and others surely have more and better ones. The
cops will be as much help as usual, i.e., no help, so let's help
ourselves!
