Re: Anti-Spam Option

I agree, Rene. Lets keep things as they are. As I said in an earlier
post, if I don't recognize the sender or the subject, I just delete
the email.

Of course, this means I might inadvertantly delete a message from
someone at TTG with the subject "Smart Words Fully Configured Retail
Version Released and Sent For Free to All XyList Subscribers"

I think by closing the list to non-subscribers, you would also block
some
desirable postings, such as (maybe) SmartWords progress reports from
TTG.
As you say, this was a single incident. Unless more spammers leave
their
droppings here, I would suggest not to fix what is not broken.
