Slashdot on Google Print

Discussion about Google Print mentions PG too. http://slashdot.org/articles/05/03/21/1237243.shtml -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org

Hey, Is it me, or are we getting a lot of spam on a lot of the PG (and PGLAF) lists? We need to stop the spam coming, or the list is going to get overwhelmed before we know it. I've already banned receiving messages from known spammers on the list, it may help, or it may not. Jared

It's not just you. I'm a little annoyed as the DP posts email address which is supposed to be used only by our volunteers to notify the site admins of posted projects is available via a google search of the PG mailing list archives (& only from there) & is getting spam. I doubt it is fully fixable now - but it would be great if the PG mailman archives can be protected from future email address harvesters. I suspect other volunteers are also receiving spam via this path.

Isn't the list open to subscribers-only? If not, I suggest moving it to that model. David A. Desrosiers desrod@gnu-designs.com http://gnu-designs.com
