I changed the "restrict_post" option to exclude all non-members and changed
the "max_size" to 7k. Yesterday the max_size trapped another magazine spam
on both of my lists (twice on one??). Having both of these options changed
has given me the solution of not only keeping the spams away, but also
stopping anyone who has inadvertantly quoted an entire digest.
Thanks to everyone who sent me these ideas! I couldn't have done it without
you!
