Deloris- Getting spam on a list due to compromised subscriber email accounts is not a good reason to moderate the entire list. Just put the addresses on moderation that the spam is coming from until the people can fix the problem. I don't believe there is any correlation between real list posts and spam being generated from those subscribers with compromised accounts. It seems as if all of the compromised accounts trigger spam at the same times...times when the entity controlling the spam choose to send a batch of it over and over again on a semi-regular basis. All addresses you have under moderation that send spam will just get stuck in pending requests...they only get one through before they are moderated. Joan In a message dated 3/10/2013 7:10:24 P.M.

It got so bad that I finally put the entire list on moderation for awhile. Apparently, many addresses had been compromised and whenever anyone posted a real message, we'd get bombarded with spam from the hacked accounts.
