X-Message-Number: 21090 Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2003 21:50:35 -0700 Subject: I'm checking out the spam situation (was Re: Come check it out) References: <001611a5dd60$ccc13356$> From: (Tim Freeman) I'm setting up a content-based spam filter for myself right now. My next step is to find the person who has administration access to dandelion and get them to do something with it. The options I would prefer are, in decreasing order of desirability: 1. Put the content-based spam filter into place. 2. Change the list so that only people who are on it can post to it. 3. Kill the list, and we'll set up a Yahoo group. In this case, before the list dies, I'll create the Yahoo group and send out a mail telling people to join the group. A problem with the current setup is that it is not possible to add or delete people from the list. If we can't get a permanent solution to that problem, we probably want to get the list off of Dandelion. Does anyone have better options than these? In particular, better options than a Yahoo group? I'm willing to spend some time trying to develop a consensus, but not a whole lot. The present situation is bad enough that action without a consensus is better than keeping the status quo. -- Tim Freeman GPG public key fingerprint ECDF 46F8 3B80 BB9E 575D 7180 76DF FE00 34B1 5C78 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=21090
