Spam on the LUG List

[mike neuliep]

Hal, I've found a few security holes in Majordomo.  I think we'll make
this a moderated list and we'll perhaps switch to mailman too, which I
think is a bit more secure and also a bit more user friendly.

I'll try and set this up in the next two weeks.  Also as soon as I can get
some cash together I'm going to install a cisco router and use it as a
filter.  I've written some nifty scripts to collect a bunch of spam lists,
built them into an ACL and install it on the router.  	I'll keep in touch
with you and the list over the next two weeks.

	Mike
