Arrgh.
For some reason, pipermail (the program that archives our mailman lists) does 
not hide poster's email addresses.  
Given the sheer number of clue-tech email messages no on google, I have 
noticed an increase of in number of attempted postings to the list.  None 
reach the list because the bots haven't figured out how to subscribe and then 
spam automatically.  However, as one of the list adminstrators, I am annoyed 
because each attempt by a spam bot to post to the list results in a message 
for me to authorize the non-subscriber's post.
So, I am crying 'uncle' and asking for some advice on what software we need 
to set up to reduce the amount of spam that is pushed to our email lists.  We 
are running sendmail, btw.
Thanks.
Jeff
