Go for TMDA. I've had it deployed here for near 8 months. Most of my lists receive ~40 SPAM messages per day, plus another ~20 virus messages -- and that's in addition to basic list mail. The -admin, and -owner addresses receive almost as many. Within those 8 months the number of either that have made their way thru TMDA either to Mailman or me (as -owner/-admin) can be counted on the fingers of two hands with fingers left to spare. Not bad for almost 8 months. Even better the number of valid messages which their posters have not bothered to confirm thru TMDA can be counted on the fingers of one hand. TMDA __is__ your friend. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
