[Beowulf] Moderation of the Beowulf Mailing List

[Jonathan Aquilina]

I am looking at the moderation tasks and it seems like there are already 
a number of spam messages waiting there. Question I have is do i reject 
the messages and discard them as well as add the sender to either the 
reject or discard list?

How are we going to proceed with these emails?
