It looks to me like anyone can post to the list. (ie, you don't have to be a
subscriber) The vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com address must have gotten into the
hands of evil, and we may be subject to more of this. On the lists I run, they
are set up to where you have to be a subscriber to the list to post, and if
anyone put any spam on the list, I can simply unsubscribe them. Can we do this
with the Vanagon List?
