RE: [802SEC] REFLECTOR SPAMMING
Tony,
If you set the configuration to moderated, you need to send "in the first
line of the message Approve [password]"
If it is not in the first line, you will get the message back, according to
my experience. What did I do wrongly?
You are probably addressing another configuration function. I guess you are
looking at the function that only messages sourced from the addresses on the
list can send messages to the list.
Anyway, I am not doing moderated lists anymore for that reason.
