How is spam handled now?? -with 100's there must an automatic
or semi-automatic methodolgy in place now?

Perhaps addign a "positive filter" ( if you are using Unix? or can do
under Windoz? Certainly NT Windoz.) Here everything is filtered
in this idea and ONLY subsriber email is allowed thru via a
list match like we do now for posting, but up at the firewall
level-- and all other email is rejected automatically unless it
say, has an a topic of GUEST POST.
