Yes, if you moderate the gateway posts you cannot choose the DISCARD setting for your non-subscriber mail. I choose NOT to moderate the gateway. I can count on one hand the number of times spam came to my lists via the gateway and I get it removed very quickly from both lists and boards. Joan In a message dated 7/29/2012 7:55:32 P.M.

Since all of them say they come from non-subscribers, my Lists would loose a lot. On the other hand, I (so far) have not been hit by Jacki. I get several a day that I have to discard, but it does not take long. But I would think that the Viagra adds and the "HI There" messages could be filtered out. Carl Hommel
