Howdy all,

One of the cool features with the new version of ListServ is it's anti-spam measures. When a non-subscriber attempts to post to the list, out listserv server will query lsoft.com to see if the sender has posted to other listserv lists as a non-subscriber as well. If there is a match, then I must manually approve the message.

I would guess that this will eliminate most of the spam we used to get. The only way to be sure is for me to open the list back up to everyone. I averaged preventing 3 spams per week from hitting the list, so let's see how the software compares.
