[Dxspider-support] Subscription requests

[Dirk Koopman]

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that I have just deleted 
over a thousand subscription requests from my inbox for all of the 
DXSpider mailing lists. By far the majority of these were spam. It is 
possible that there were a few genuine ones amongst them - and to those 
people I apologise.

I am getting rather irritated doing all this unnecessary administration 
and I shall now be looking for a better solution which, may 
(reluctantly), involve moving to another platform which might be Google 
groups. I am open to other/better suggestions.

In the next few days I will be closing the lists to new users after I 
have updated the website to say something like this:

The mailing lists are open to all genuine radio amateurs but, because of 
all the subscription request spam I have received, I will only accept 
new members who send me a personal email to 'gb7djk at gmail.com', with a 
subject line that says something like: 'subscribe dxspider-support', 
with your name, callsign and country in the body of the email.

These details will be checked by looking in the usual places.
