If this was SPAM that was sent through the list then someone
spending a large number of hours acting as moderator might help.
HOWEVER, if you examine the message headers very closely, you will
see that they do not look like regular B-Greek messages. Note for
example the "long" TO: field (it is not addressed to b-greek!) and
the odd reply-to field. Personally, I'm getting tired of these
repeated adds which I think all come from the same source even though
they are supposedly from different people in different countries.
This is not just a problem on b-greek. Once I received virtually
this same SPAM with the return-path set to the owner of a mailing
list that I didn't even know existed.
