 I'd like to second this. The amount of spam etc is becoming
 more and more annoying ...

Thirded!  While we won't easily get rid of Outlook-viruses (since the
list may appear in people's address books), at least we can get rid of
the loads of warnings from misconfigured mail servers following them.

The problem with this (and the reason it hasn't been done before) is that several 
people subscribe to the list under a different address than the one they use to post - 
for example, some institutions gateway the list to a local newsgroup.  We could work 
around this, but it would undoubtedly cause a non-zero amount of hassle.

The haskell.org crew are looking into installing some spam filtering at the moment.

Cheers,
Simon

I also run a mailing list using Mailman. I solve this problem by 
subscribing posting-only addresses nomail. If someone posts to the list 
and they're not subscribed, I subscribe them nomail and then approve the 
message. It's a bit of work but it keeps out spam.
