Interesting -- the From: address (zhou140@yahoo.com.cn) of the message
quoted above subscribed to PLUG this morning just a few minutes before
the post, apparently for the sole purpose of spamming.  I considered the
possibility that this was a legitimate message, however that seems rather
unlikely given the yahoo.com.cn return address and the Chinese IP address.

Mar 22 08:45:32 2005 (24247) plug: new "zhou140@yahoo.com.cn" <Li Zhou>, via web confirmation

If this happens repeatedly, perhaps we'll need to moderate posts from new
subscribers for a period of time, although limitations of mailman may make
that a difficult policy to implement.
