Members-only list

[michael d hoskins]

Hey, I'm on yahoo, so what are you trying to say?  :-)

Mike Hoskins (mikehoskins at yahoo.com)

I agree, since I can always have my yahoo.com email address as the
Edit|Preferences|Mail & Newsgroups|Identity|Email Address setting.

Of course, if *your* SMTP gateway relays it, you can be anyone you want,
thus the fix to our problem is no longer a fix.  Unfortunately, spammers
do this all the time.

We *don't* want to go to a moderated list, nor do we want to start
adding passwords to the content of our email.  At least this (along with
the SMTP fix) would cut down on things.

Did anybody see the long email reply I sent a couple of days ago on
this?  Perhaps the name should change and not be displayed on the web
site?

My vote still lies with the "only subsribed can send" list.  In the long
run I think it will work out much better -- or at least it has on the
lists
that I've been on with a lot of volume.  I hate to say it, but there are
a
lot of car nuts (the lists that I'm on and help admin for) that aren't
"techie" people (like here ??) and they function just fine with that
method
of getting and responding to mail.  If your not careful you'll soon have
every yahoo in the world setting up email accounts and replying to the
list.   It's a real pain in the butt if someone wants to email someone
privately on the list -- which email do we use?   If we send something
to a
company email does it get there or pass through ??? hands.

I think we're jumping through a lot of hoops for the minority benefit
rather than the greater good.
