[Elecraft] Re: Spam filters [END OF THREAD]

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

We do have a subscribe confirmation requirement - and the spammers still 
get around it. qth.net and we are too big of a target.

Let's end this thread. Its taking up way too much bandwidth on the list.

Also, guys, please do not try to moderate the list. I'll jump in as 
needed. If you think a thread needs moderation, please email me instead 
of posting to the list.
