I was dismayed to see that my moderated group alt.med.cfs <=> CFS-L mailing list was penetrated by the "FREE MONEY" essayist, who also posted a similar message last year. My group is moderated so that only registered users may post directly. A messages go through a Listserv which is set for Send= Editor and Editor= (CFS-L). I suspect that this non-registered person (actually it was a forged, non-existant address) was able to bypass my moderation scheme by posting to the newsgroup and including their own Approved: line. The gateway address NETNEWS@AMERICAN.EDU is listed as a subscriber, naturally. Does anyone know if in fact that is all that it takes? Someone puts in an approved line, posts to the newsgroup side, and that message can then bypass the moderation set-up described above? Does anyone know of a way to block this? Thanks for any help. -- Roger Burns cfs-news@cais.cais.com
