Re: Steps to take to remove posting rights

[Gonzalo Camarillo <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I have received a number of private responses saying that these folks 
were spamming a number of WG mailing lists besides SIPPING. I am going 
to go ahead flag them as moderated, so that I get to approve or reject 
all their postings thru the list's administrative interface. I guess 
that is the easiest way to proceed.

If they do something like using a different email address to continue 
sending spam to the list, I will take further measures.

Thanks,

Gonzalo
