    1. [TXTARRAN-L] Restricting access to the mailing list
    2. Rob Yoder
    3. Hello everybody, The folks at RootWeb are talking about resetting the status of all mailing lists to that of "closed" (restricted). They are in a never ending battle trying to keep spam from the lists. They have caught a dozen or so spam messages since I became listowner about a month ago. What does this mean for us? As near as I can tell from the posts, the biggest change you will see is that only subscribers to the list will be able to post. I cannot forsee any problems with that. It appears that subscribing and unsubscribing to the list may become less automatic. There may be a short period of adjustment while I learn how to operate functions of the list smoothly. This could mean a short delay when subbing or unsubbing. So, if you see messages in this forum stating that the mailing list is now closed, don't be alarmed. They will only be restricting access to subscribers only. - Rob Yoder - Listowner TXTARRAN, Tarrant County Texas GenWeb
