Subject: FYI - suppressing spam

FYI

In an experiment to keep spam off this mailing list,
I have changed the access requirements for posting 
to if-mib, so that only members may post.
Everyone else's message gets bounced to me.

This has been successful in its main goal (so far at any rate),
but has side effects that I am discovering.  One is the following:

Those who are not on the majordomo address list have their postings
delayed, at best, (I try not to loose them)
while I generate a "Non-member submission from" message.

These include people behind a company exploder,
or who have made email forwarding arrangements.
