Hi Mahmoud

all messages to pw_forum not coming from registered users are blocked.
Today's log message says that yesterday 298 unauthorized messages 
were blocked. [ these, by the way, may also include legitimate e-mails
not coming from the very same e-mail used for registration. Since all 
blocked messages are automatically deleted, don't wait for "moderator
approval": there will be none ]

The spam you receive is not coming via pw_forum, as explained 
by Axel, but most likely from viruses on other people's computers. 
Unfortunately there is little that can be done, as long as there are
people using Windows and getting viruses all the time. 

If in the future we'll notice spam messages going through the mailing 
list, we'll take (or try to take) appropriate actions.

Paolo
