Can the listserv do "automated moderating," e.g. have it verify the
address on every post as originating from a list member or some such
check? Would this be hard to add into the listserv script? It almost
certainly would take less time to write something like this than to
moderate the list!

I know many of you try to avoid spam by changing your reply-to address,
but I would think a properly written script could look for a token of
some kind...? Personally, the *only* SPAM I get comes through the
listserv, virtually *none* is addressed to me directly. And I don't have
any kind of filtering setup on my e-mail.

Just brainstorming... (dangerous on Monday morning... :)
