I'm about to take off for the holidays and I'm going to change the spam policy for the hugs mailing lists. Previously, non-listmember mail was held for approval. As part of the approval process I would whitelist email addresses so that you only had messages held the first time you post. This only affects people with multiple email addresses who are posting from an address different from thier subscription address. Since I'll be gone for a couple of weeks, I've set the list to reject instead of approve non-member email. This means that you're going to be on your own to modify your subscription address if there are problems with posting. I'll still take private email requests to whitelist addresses but I won't be attending to email much for the next few weeks. Over the last few months I've observed fewer and fewer problems with legitimate posts being held and more and more spam being held for approval so I'm hoping that this new policy will make my life easier without being a burden to too many posters. Keeping your email spam free, John
