Hello Brothers.

Hopefully to answer at least the reason why we are receiving spam mail,
here's what I found...


After doing a check on the headers, I found:
*  Send= Public

This means that anyone can send something to APO-L, regardless of the
person being subscribed to the list.

Is there a reason this option is selected, rather than Private (meaning
the subscribers are the only people allowed to post?)

Thank you.

YiLFS,
