Update from the NANOG Communications Committee regarding recent off-topic posts

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)

As a quick update, we've implemented some list settings last week to help
to

keep spam off the list. New subscribers are moderated until we're
comfortable
with their posts. We rejected the idea of keyword based message filtering
since not only is a lot of work to maintain, it's trivial to get around it
if
you really want to post banned words.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Matt Griswold, on behalf of the NANOG Communications Committee

I've always liked the idea found in xkcd.com/810 ;-).

On list spam has been minimal but off list cold call type emails have
been mounting for several months
