Hey folks,
I've made a small change to the list server configuration that shouldn't affect anybody but I thought I would let you know.
In the past, any postings to the list from a non-member (i.e. someone who wasn't themselves already subscribed to the list) would be held, and I would get a notice. I would then be able to either let the posting go through, or deny it.
Most of the time, such non-member postings are the result of spam bots. On occasion, however, a couple of you have posted from an e-mail address other than the one you are subscribed under. In those cases I've approved the postings since I recognize who you are and obviously it's legitimate.
I'm changing this, however, so that all non-member postings will be denied right away. The reason is that in the last couple of days, the amount of spam seems to have increased a bunch so I am being flooded regularly with approval messages for spam and it's getting irksome to deal with.
The upshot of this: If you post to the list and your message comes back rejected, check that you are sending it from the right account (and if you think you are, send me a message and I'll sort it out.)
