Re: [Bigsister-general] Anti-Spam measures


I'm not going to argue, it's your (the Big Sister users') mailing list,
not mine and the only work involved for me is checking a checkbox.

Please, people having an opinion on this, send me your vote: Shall only
registered senders be able to post to the BigSister mailing lists?
Disadvantage is that some of you will have to re-register since they're
using other mail addresses for sending than for receiving posts, and
new users will have to register before they can post. Main advantage: 
this will drastically reduce spam postings.

Best regards,
Tom
