Speaking from my experience as a list administrator for a number of the
Wikimedia mailing lists:
Letting people subscribe to and know of the existence of the mailing list
is a good idea at the moment. The user that sent this email is subscribed
to the mailing list so we need the list admin (Erik at this point but we
can have more) to unsubscribe them.
The list is already set so that non-members cannot send a message to it,
but as you can see if they do subscribe to the list then they can post
freely. We don't usually require list admin approval for subscription
requests as this is a public list, but here are the options:
a) Require list admin approval for subscription - doesn't make sense to me
as its not a private list, so you would likely approve that spammer anyways.
b) Set posts for new subscribers to require moderation (approved by a list
admin before they are sent to the list) - this could stop any potential
influx of spam and legitimate subscribers could be unmoderated once they
have posted.
c) Remove the advertising of the mailing list from the site notice.
d) Do nothing yet.
I think d) is the best at the moment, as this email is likely to just be a
one off so we can unsubscribe and ban this spammer. If the spam increases,
then we could consider the other options.
Thoughts?

Looks like we need someone to screen the mail going out?

A diaper is a kind of underwear that allows one

caregiver. Failure to change a diaper on a regular enough basis can result
in diaper rash.http://www.easyfit.in
