Other than the clueless forwarding clearly off topic items, what kind of filters are in place with the listserver for e-mail accounts that aren't signed up for this mailing list? I know different servers have different settings and policies, I was just wondering for the server we are using for Lazarus?

I have previously setup the server to only accept email from members subscribed to the list but that caused problems for various people that have several email accounts for but only want to receive email at one email account. When it can accept foreign submissions they can still submit from other email address.

In fact yesterday and today seem to be a highly unusual occurance. SPAM on this list has been very, very rare. However if it does start to become a problem I will have to put more controls on the list. :-\
