'closing' the lists does not mean that someone not being subscribed

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.
Are you the only moderator, or do you share the duty with others? This
sounds like a good solution, but I'm concerned that posts requiring
approval would be delayed significantly. I'm currently the only
administrator for most of the Ethereal lists, and it sometimes takes a
few
days for me to process administrative requests.
For the lists I'm running I'm the only moderator.
I'll go ahead and set -dev, -users and -doc to members-only posting.
Would anyone like to volunteer to help with moderation?
I would volunteer to helping you with moderating of one mailing list, say
the developer one. Please contact me by Michael.Tuexen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Gerald, I tried to send you the mail to your ethereal.com address but I
got
an error back...
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).
Ciao

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