Subject: [StormwaterPro] StormwaterPro changes made to prevent spam


>
>
> We've made some changes to the way the server handles the StormwaterPro
> discussion group. These changes were made as a result of the increasing
> number of spam messages that were making it through the server's spam
> filters, as well as a few new "members" who were obviously more interested
> in using their membership to send spam messages to those who joined for
> information on stormwater management.
>
> The group is now "moderated". This means that any message you send to
> StormwaterPro will temporarily be held at the server until it can be
> reviewed by one of the group's moderator team. The server will be checked
> throughout the business day for new messages. Legitimate messages of
> interest to the group will be sent through to all of our members. Spam
> messages will not.
>
> New membership applications will also be held at the server level until
> approved by the moderator team. At least two of our newest "members"
joined
> specifically to send group members spam messages inviting people to view
> pornography. They were the source of most of the porn spam messages we
> received during the past week, and their memberships have been terminated.
>
> We apologize for any inconvenience you may experience in using the
> StormwaterPro discussion group as a result of these new policies. We feel
> that the vast majority of our members prefer not to receive any more spam
> messages than necessary, and decided that we needed to take these steps to
> reduce the volume of spam hitting your e-mail inbox.
