Dear all,
'closing' the lists does not mean that someone not being subscribed can't
send e-mail to the list. It means that a moderator has to approve such
postings.
So they are still open to all, only some postings have to be approved.
I'm running an e-mail list like this and all spam has been blocked
easily. It
only needs a moderator...
I would prefer if the ethereal lists are run this way. It means that
they are
open and (almost) spam free.
Best regards
Michael

IMHO, the openness of the Ethereal mailing lists has been a very good
thing: It is used for support (ideally ethereal-users, but ethereal-dev
too), and it makes it easier for "outsiders" to submit patches or ask
question that may lead to patches.
Maybe some tuning of the current mailscanner to actually detect the Klez
virus would be sufficient. That way, most spam/virii is marked and you
can drop it via your procmailrc (or whatever you are using instead).

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
