Re: Spam filter on Gborg?

Hi guys,

Do we have spam filtering on the gborg mailing lists?

Just wondering, because I received a spam through the dbdpg-general
mailing list and I wasn't sure.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

The project admins who setup the mailing lists for a project should
have the access information to change the settings on their mailing
lists. I have all/most of GBorgs project mailing lists set to require
approval of non-member postings to keep the spam off the list. I would
recommend other projects to do the same. You should encourage as such
from the project admin(s) on any lists you are having problems with.

Thanks Chris. Wasn't sure, so if the dbdpg mailing lists cop spam again
I'll let them know it can be done. Or remind them if they've just
forgotten.

:)
