I'm sorry for the spams we're all being bombarded with. As far as I know,
the spammers are NOT subscribing to the list; they have simply located
the posting address somewhere and are mailing to it, often combined
with addresses of other lists.
The Listserv software we're using runs on a VM/CMS machine at Columbia,
over which we have very little control. There are some options that
can be turned on; I will investigate (probably next week) whether it's
possible to set the Listserv so that only subscribers can post. This
would reduce and perhaps eliminate spamming, while not inhibiting
genuine traffic.
