All - We have obviously become the target of unsolicited commercial email in the last couple of days. On behalf of monkeyfist.com, I apologize for the intrusion. I suspect it's due to the address of this list being posted on every page of our site, making it an easy target for address-harvesting spambots. You as subscribers have only seen the least piece of it, but the list software catches and holds for approval at least 3 or 4 spams a day. I have put into place the following measures to prevent spam from getting out to the list as a whole: - Any messages sent to more than 1 recipient (i.e., copied to another address besides bonobos-4tgYbHuN1ulm/Kok3h1/[email protected]) will be held for approval - Any messages from non-subscribers will be held for approval This combination will ensure that non-subscribers will still have the ability to post messages to the list; however, the difference is that all messages from non-subscribers will now be held for approval by the list administrator. That gives me the opportunity to squash any spams before they get sent out. I think this should take care of the problem as far as you, the subscribers, are concerned. Thanks for you indulgence, Niel
