Thread: Spam filter on Gborg?
Hi guys, Do we have spam filtering on the gborg mailing lists? Just wondering, because I received a spam through the dbdpg-general mailing list and I wasn't sure.

The project admins who setup the mailing lists for a project should have the access information to change the settings on their mailing lists. I have all/most of GBorgs project mailing lists set to require approval of non-member postings to keep the spam off the list. I would recommend other projects to do the same. You should encourage as such from the project admin(s) on any lists you are having problems with.

(Sorry for the previous no-content message, pressed Control-Enter (send) instead of Control-Home. Oops.) Thanks Chris. Wasn't sure, so if the dbdpg mailing lists cop spam again I'll let them know it can be done. Or remind them if they've just forgotten. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift Chris Ryan wrote: > The project admins who setup the mailing lists for a project should > have the access information to change the settings on their mailing > lists.
