Re: moderation?

It is on moderation (as are most if not all of the bioinformatics.org  
hosted lists) due to recent spam volumes. Recently there was a spike  
in spam that evaded the spam filters and then made it out to lists  
because they forged the FROM field on the message to be that of a  
legit subscriber.  Only moderating *everything* seemed to have an  
effect.

So - moderation is on, but for spam reasons only. We don't moderate  
for content/topic or any other reason but spam.
