the spammers have eventually found out how to post to the gpc list. As far as I can see, two spams made it here: Subject "Would Like to Advertise on Your Site" (12/03) Subject "NEEDED YOUR KIND ATTENTION" (12/04)
Currently, non-subscribers can post to the gpc list if they reply "accept" to an automated message. Apparently, the spammers have found out how to use this. I see no other option than allowing only postings from list members in the future (*). Any other opinions?
If they can be reached by such "accept" messages, it seems to me they can be identified. More and more jurisdictions of the world are passing strong anti-spam legislation (Virginia, USA, just extradited a couple of spammers, and are preparing to throw the book at them). Thus the presence of such identification seems worth more than you are losing by having the occasional annoyance.
