preventing spam

[Liblist]

Adam: I agree that we should limit postings to NHC subscribers.  Many of us already post requests for people we know - but who are not subscribers.  Thank you for reviewing any non-subscriber postings to try and cut down on the spam!

NHC subscribers,

I am recommending that we limit postings to NHC to subscribers.  I have
found out from our Computing & Communications that any postings that come
from nonsubscribers would be sent to me for review and I could then decide
to post to the list if the message is appropriate.  The other option is to
make the list "moderated" which means that I would have to review all
postings before they get sent out to everyone.  It seems to me the former
is a better option (and less work for me) than the latter.  What do you
all think?
