They then started casually spamming the crap out of those lists. It didn't work, since the lists only accept posts from subscribers, but it did create a lot of noise for list admins. <span style="font-size:12pt">I dropped most of the other admins, so that only Heather and I would have to put up with the noise and manage the moderation queues, but... It's gotten *crazy*. The bad guys have shared their lists with other bad guys, and the spam-showers have increased from one or two brief showers per week, to one or two per *day*, and admin notices are flooding my inbox so hard that I have to hunt through my inbox for the ham. So... I need to put up a little defense.</span><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12pt">If implementing RBLs on an MTA seems like a fun way to spend a Saturday, LMK.
