My fault - the web front end for approval does not show more than the
first part of the message, and the basic message content seemed on topic
for exim-users. Should have noticed the reason for moderation.

I'll be more careful in future. Unfortunately the moderation load is
increasing (the exim.org lists are all getting reasonable amounts of
spam now) so occaisional mistakes will happen.

Medium term I'm intending to front end the lists with a spamassassin
filter, which will kill some of these postings off early.
