Are their some general guidelines for preventing spammers from getting our
list addresses?  

I have the following sample set up...

hec-21c-acad:   "|/usr/libexec/wrapper resend -l hec-21c-acad
hec-21c-acad-list\
,nobody"
hec-21c-acad-list:      :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/hec-21c-acad
owner-hec-21c-acad:     bran@collaborative.org
hec-21c-acad-owner:     branh@collaborative.org
hec-21c-acad-request:   "|/usr/libexec/wrapper request-answer hec-21c-acad"
hec-21c-acad-approval:  bran@collaborative.org

All config files have changed  passwords and I changed who and get access to
list.  

I believe there is no easy way to say only list people can post to each
list, is that correct?  Is there anything else I should be doing?

I used to have additional protection in send mail via the aliases database
for each lists address but that broke somewhere in a sendmail upgrade and no
one could say how to get it back...

Thanks in advance for any help...
