Spam! AGAIN!! Re: [NCLUG] nclug.org

[James DeWitt]

Hello NCLUGgers,

I switched to "only allow subscribers to post" for twelve hours 
a couple of weeks ago.  During that time, no spam was received 
and all the posts were held for moderation because subscribers 
sent them from alternate email addresses.  This is clearly unworkable.

Please, let us discuss this at the next meeting or off-list because
it is not Linux related.

Thank you,
James DeWitt
