How about deleting the bogus entries in the archives for the dates January
2022?
These appear at the top of the archive list.

I agree that most closed lists do not allow non-members to post, and very
much prefer it that way.

This is a good plan. I'll keep the config that way.

I have to admit to being confused at this point as to which, if any,
attachments are allowed.

These are allowed:

image/gif
image/jpeg
image/jpg
image/jpef
image/bmp
image/png
image

multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain

I need to know what message body size limit (this includes the size of any attachments) we need to have for the sake of those with a slow internet connection:
I have set it to two megabyte which is pretty big; maybe it should be one megabyte. Any suggestions? 2mb is a slow but manageable download for anyone with 3mb/s DSL and even 1.5 mb/s. Too slow for 56kb dialup if anyone still has this.
Ex. My attached pic of a Meyer Lemon is 225KB in size if that will give you any way to gauge download times.

And should I filter out .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) and .pps (PowerPoint) files?
Yes? No?

I strongly support blocking attachments where
they are executable - such as ".exe " etc. I think images as attachments
(most common including jpg, bmp, gif, tif, as well as other common
formats) enhance communication. I would probably strip PDF attachments -
they can be quite large and 99% of the time a URL can be provided.

The usual suspects are now filtered out, one that coud contain viruses or
other malware:

exe
bat
cmd
com
pif
scr
vbs
cpl
zip
rar
