New moderation policy

[John Peterson]

I'm about to take off for the holidays and I'm going to change the
spam policy for the hugs mailing lists.  Previously, non-listmember
mail was held for approval.  As part of the approval process I would
whitelist email addresses so that you only had messages held the first
time you post.  This only affects people with multiple email addresses who
are posting from an address different from thier subscription address.

Since I'll be gone for a couple of weeks, I've set the list to reject
instead of approve non-member email.  This means that you're going to
be on your own to modify your subscription address if there are
problems with posting.  I'll still take private email requests to
whitelist addresses but I won't be attending to email much for the
next few weeks.

Over the last few months I've observed fewer and fewer problems with
legitimate posts being held and more and more spam being held for
approval so I'm hoping that this new policy will make my life easier
without being a burden to too many posters.

Keeping your email spam free,

     John
