Who's "we"? I've certainly received lots of messages from Freelists
about multiple Debora(h)s attempting to post to a closed group, but
those messages shouldn't reach the group. Are you talking about you
(or all the Bazleys) being under D-attack, rather than this group?
(Aside: I want to try to find a setup so that I can receive such
posts - to check that a genuine RO AS user isn't trying to subscribe
in a mistaken way - but without sending "you can't do this" messages
to the non-existent user, which then result in bounce messages to me;
and without generating another "you can't" message and resulting
bounce message when I decline the post. I can't see a way of setting
these actions on Freelists.)
