Spam
by John Peterson 29 Jun '02

I've decided to see how painful it is to restrict the list to member only posting. This should definitely stop the spam flood - we'll see if it works out OK. Complain to me if there are any problems. I've also cut the max message size down to 20K before moderator approval is required. This should keep the viruses away. John

If someone posts to the list and they're not subscribed, I subscribe them nomail and then approve the message. It's a bit of work but it keeps out spam. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

The problem with this (and the reason it hasn't been done before) is that several people subscribe to the list under a different address than the one they use to post - for example, some institutions gateway the list to a local newsgroup. We could work around this, but it would undoubtedly cause a non-zero amount of hassle. The haskell.org crew are looking into installing some spam filtering at the moment. Cheers, Simon
