<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I am looking at the moderation tasks
and it seems like there are already a number of spam messages
waiting there. Question I have is do i reject the messages and
discard them as well as add the sender to either the reject or
discard list?<br>
<br>
How are we going to proceed with these emails?<br>

<div>I am with Penguin Computing, who is hosting the beowulf
mailing list. Thank you for volunteering to share the burden of
moderating the list. Doug Eadline suggested that everybody

<div>I would like to share the list administrator password with
you. The easiest and safest way to share is probably via SMS. If
you could please send me your cell phone numbers so that I can
send you the admin password. I promise ... I will delete every
number as soon as I have sent the password. No follow-up calls
from Penguin sales ... :)</div>

<div>One issue all of you may want to look at its the topic of
spam filtering. Right now e-mail from unknown sources is held,
and the queue can quickly get pretty lengthy. Joe Landman
offered to help with installing a spam filter. Joe, please let
me know if you need any privileges beyond list admin for this.</div>

<div>Thanks again for volunteering</div>
