[PLUG] plug list and spam

[Mark Wills]

Is it possible to allow reading through NNTP, but if someone wants to post
they can do it through email?
By the way anyone who wants to harvest the list for individual email
addresses only needs to subscribe and then go to the web page and download
the list. This feature needs to be shut off globally. Only 2 people have
shut it off for their own email address.

I talked with Karl Hegbloom, who currently admins the PLUG list, and he
tells me that you can post to the PLUG list without being subscribed. The
reason is that he setup a news gateway, whereby people can participate in
the PLUG list via NNTP. In order to do this he had to set things up so
that people can post to the list from outside of the list.

As for dealing with spam, Karl tells me that he wants a volunteer who has
experience working with spamassasin to set it up for PLUG.

Any volunteers please email karl at microsharp.com
