My list (SAFLEY) hasn't had any traffic for some time, the last posting was Nov 2011. All I ever do is delete the non subscriber posts several times a week. Is there any way to block this stuff so I don't have to deal with it short of closing my list? I have some vision problems and I am getting really tired of having to spend time on this.

To be honest, if you look at the email notices you get, you can almost always tell if something is spam. If it is, you don't really need to do anything, it'll get deleted after awhile, if no action is taken. If you wanted to, you could just check the email, and if it's obvious that it's spam, just leave it as-is, it'll get deleted later. (Maybe not the BEST advice, but, it's better than shutting a list down, I think.) Nov. 2011 isn't that long, though, for some of those less common lists...at least I don't think so...
