Listserve explanation   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #187 of 977 |
Hello everyone, you received a message from <matchborfriends@...>
last night. I hope you all realize this is spam and will not go the
the website. Our listserve was not set up as a closed listserve, which
means anyone can join. One of our members who is also a moderator of
this listserve - Dmitry Sazonov - has the job of booting these people,
but he does not know to do this until they post a message. Correct me
if I'm wrong, Dmitry. Fortunately we haven't had much spam, although
there was some traffic last summer marketing easy to get bachelor
degrees.

If people think this is a problem, we might be able to change the
listserve so that new members have to apply to join. It's not a big
deal as they send a message to a moderator explaining why they want to
join. That is how the Springfield autism listserve is set up. Any
comments?

For all to know, this group was not set up as a closed list and Dima was only asked to block spam senders. It sounds like he has changed the settings now and...

Having a "closed" listserv only means that new members get approved. So, a potential new member can just be required to state why they want to join---Dima or...
