All,
I have this list set up so that all subscriptions must be approved by
me before anyone gets on board. To avoid spam bots and the like, I
specifically require that an inteligible sentence regarding their
interest in Peugeot be included, or else I reject their request. This
means that people like this car.lover29 person are for real, and sign
on with the express intent to spam us. I have no way of knowing their
plans when they apply for membership. What else can I do to keep these
intruders out, and not wait until they already spammed the list? I am
open to any suggestions you may have.
Your listmaster,

As a fellow moderator (Citroen lists among others) you can stop these jerks
a couple of easy ways.
You can set up the list so that new members are moderated until you see a
few posts and decide to un-moderate them.
Or you can choose to set any requests for membership in question to
moderated before you approve them then monitor the posts until you decide to lift the
moderation (like on any members acting up).
We had a fairly big problem with spam early on until we discovered this and
now spam on most the Citroen lists is a rare thing. (unlike one of the K-F
lists)
If you need help I guess I could take on yet another list moderator position
<sigh>
