Arend I am quite suprised Spamassassin hasnt been setup and
integrated with mailman. I am not sure if that is possible, but I
can find out and let you know later on today, that is assuming
they have an IRC channel.<br>

<div>If it's an "autogenerated spam" just dump it silently

<div>If it's spam that's "out of character" with the previous
posts from the apparent source, assume it's spoofed origin, dump
it silently. If it's someone we (moderators) know, we might
send them an email saying we got the spoofed source, but since
there's not a heck of a lot anyone can do, it's of dubious
usefulness.</div>

<div>I would like to share the list administrator password
with you. The easiest and safest way to share is
probably via SMS. If you could please send me your cell
phone numbers so that I can send you the admin password.
I promise ... I will delete every number as soon as I
have sent the password. No follow-up calls from Penguin
sales ... :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One issue all of you may want to look at its the
topic of spam filtering. Right now e-mail from unknown
sources is held, and the queue can quickly get pretty
lengthy. Joe Landman offered to help with installing a
spam filter. Joe, please let me know if you need
any privileges beyond list admin for this.</div>

<div>Thanks again for volunteering</div>
