Ok, so it finally happened. Yesterday LSoft implemented a new version of Listserv on my Listplex node which resulted in the messages coming for approval to me differently than they had been. Unfortunately, mechanisms I had in place to filter spam out wouldn't work on the new approval format I received, and a new approval web interface was introduced.

I've just woken up, thought I would see what the approval web page looked like, and clicked on the link provided in the approval message. Sure enough, there is no web page, it simply approved the message!!! Yikes!!! Spam to NTBugtraq.

Sorry folks, it happens. It won't happen again, I assure you.

Cheers,
