I do just discard the non-subscriber spam that’s pending my approval without any further action. At this point I have no idea exactly where the one in Archives came from as it was deleted from all my mail boxes. It was not one that I was notified that was “pending approval”. I do have one in Archives as of this morning that came from the current Yahoo account of someone I have known for a long time. I’m waiting on a response from her before I use the removal tool, or moderate.

It just leads to MORE spam. But if you have a compromised subscriber sending the spam and you have them on moderated status rejecting the spam in pending requests from them can help to alert the person that they have been hacked.

Not necessarily. Even if it does, it'll tell the spammers you're on to them and won't let the spam remain. If the mail is in the pending folder, simply discard it - don't reject it and don't mark it as spam before deleting it. If you send the archive URL through to the Help Desk and ask them to remove it from the archives they will do so. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LISTOWNERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
How do I find the "Archive Removal Tool". I had one get through last week.
