Mike has suggested excluding certain domains; I think he said he thinks he can narrow down a high percentage of the spam coming from a small number of offending domains. Therefore, I suggest a two-step remedy, going to the 2nd only if the 1st doesn't work (well enough): 1. Mike filters off his list of offending domains. (He could update his filters over time.) 2. We close the list. I don't want to go directly to #2 because I think we have just enough inquiries from new Ada folks (i.e., non-subscribers) that this would work to our community's disadvantage. -hh
