[303rd-Talk] ? SPAM getting through to list, sorry ?

[Bill Jones]

Thanks.
I just noticed one today, and checked the archives, and it looks like 
there have been 3 this month.  Ie not a whole lot of spam, but the one 
I got today, looks to me like maybe someone has harvested the mailing 
list, and is sending them with fake return addresses of list members 
(actually it seemed to have Gary's return address in the header, but 
not as the "from", which is confusing to me). So I've changed things so 
it requires approval to join and see the member list. But if the list 
is already out, I don't know how to stop further messages.  But if it's 
only 3 per month, I guess that's not too bad. I get hundreds per day 
myself.  My filter traps them, and I usually do a quick scan and delete 
them, but today I noticed one that actually came from the list, so I 
became concerned.
