I can't see the -C-P- subject as really being functional for sorting out spam mail because anyone new to the list won't know to put them in, nor the people I mentioned who might wish to make anonymous announcements.
The "-C-P-" think should of course be found in some kind of faq and/or in the subscribtion welcome message.
What about just creating another list (closed-posting) and then just allowing people to choose which to subscribe to? Obviously, the open-posting list would be subscribed to the closed posting list, but not the other way around.. so at the risk of missing the massively important anonymous message that has yet to be sent, I could eliminate some of this spam?
That might be a better idea yes. :) Some nice person might even forward "serious" remailed e-mails to the closed list (since they don´t seem to be too frequent).
You fucking idiots who want "closed" lists have several choices: 1. Those who came before you _already_ created closed lists. "Cryptography" and "Coderpunks," for example. Join _those_ lists. 2. Subscribe to one of the filtered lists, e.g., Ray Arachelian's list. 3. Create your own lists. BTW, if you are posting to the "toad.com" address, as you are, you are too ignorant to be giving us advice on how the list ought to be structured. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
