[Gloucs] SPAM apologies

[info at hbas.fsnet.co.uk]

Hi Glyn / Paul,

Hi Guys,

When you clean out all the spam from the LUG admin interface as 
illustrated below, you need to *tick both "reject" boxes* and *add the 
sender to the "ban list "*, otherwise you will just get ever increasing 
amounts of spam from the same senders.

It used to be a major problem when I set this group up, and I quickly 
found the above method was the only way to exert control over the problem.

Best wishes

Barrie Haycock
