[SLUG] Emails

[Stephen O'Neill]

Hi all,

My email address appears on the default contact for SLUG.

This means that basically I just get bombarded with SPAM. In the year or
so that I have been down as the default contact I haven't had a single
"proper" email.

The biggest culprit is the catch all. I'm not totally sure off the top
of my head, but I think that we can have basically as many aliases as we
like and forward them to whoever we like.

We currently have admin@ list@ webmaster@ and catchall at
scarborough.lug.org.uk.

The email address we publish is "scarborough at lug.org.uk" and I don't
have a single email for that address, not even spam - so heaven only
knows where that goes to.

I think what I'm proposing is:

1) list@ goes to Fintan
2) admin@ goes to John and or myself
3) webmaster@ goes to myself
4) catchall is just ditched (this is where nearly all of the spam goes,
most of it for Jamie!)
5) If we ever find out who gets scarborough at lug then that gets sent to
whoever gets admin@; failing that we create a new address
scarborough at scarborough and publish that on the site.

Thoughts please.
