   No social system is going to work with spam weasels, sadly.
We're going to have to come up with a decent way to throttle
exim from handling 100+ emails at once from someone, or make
email only available to some kind of 'verified' user.

   One of the reasons I haven't been participating in coop
for the last several weeks is that just about all my time
spent on Grex lately has been watching for spammers, and
cleaning up after them.  I have removed more than 150,000
emails from the queue because of these idiots.

   The net really isn't what it once was, and Grex needs
to adjust itself to these realities.  I note that M-Net
has gone through much the same problem, and they elected
to shut off outbound mail.

   We have to figure something out.  I'm hoping that a
throttle system will work, and/or a spam filter system
that can apply to outbound mail as well.
