Subject: [realprogrammers hosting] Minor change to lists
Message-ID: <AANLkTim=RACNLFBErZLc8HTS4roUZ1P_+aketHZ8vbLE@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm making some minor changes to the lists hosted here in a bid to
reduce the load on both of us from spammers posting to lists and them
being sent a rejection notice or the spam ending up in a moderation
queue. One list I just went through had over 34,000 moderated
messages(!)

The change is to discard non-member posts without notice. This isn't
ideal but I think it's the best compromise. If you feel you'd prefer
NOT to have this change, e.g., you're on top of your moderation queue
etc, let me know and I'll change your list right back (or you can do
it yourself through the interface). You can find it under "Privacy
options" -> "Sender filters" -> "Action to take for postings from
non-members for which no explicit action is defined."

Cheers,
Paul
