yes it seems so. i aplogize for letting spam through.
No problem, I don't know whether it was spam or not. I wasn't trying to fault you, I was more curious whether anyone knew anything about the IPSI BgD things.
i have been trying to release the strict policies of the pd-lists a little - at least for things like pd-announce and pd-ot. most of the real spam is filtered out before it gets to the lists, so the moderation task has become easier. esp. for the pd-announce list, i think the restriction to members only is a bit hard. (but while i am struggling with myself, i make arbitrary decisions about what to let through :: which is the thing i never wanted to get into)
obviously this leads to such emails getting through to the list (which at a quick glance just seem to be ordinary announcements, like the final call to the DAfx)
i don't know what i should do exactly. probably search a volunteer for moderating the pd-announce list...
I think the easy way to deal with it is make it members only, with no moderator. No perfect, but you have better things to do.
