Re: [Biojava-l] spam to biojava-l

[Kalle N�slund]

I agree that the spam is a serious annoyance, what about trying to use SpamAssasin ? i dont
have much personal experience with it, by several of my friends swear by it, and says it
works well.

SpamAssasin tries to analyse the text, and if it finds enough spam like content, it flags the
mail as Spam, and removes it. The ammount of spam like findings needed for a rejection
can be configured to ones liking. And in every day use, its very uncommon that legimit
mails get filtered out as spam. But to avoid that little little chance, an alternative is to
only run spamassasin on posts from people that havent registered to the mailinglist.

SpamAssasin can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamassassin/ and the requirements
arent that big, basicly you need perl and a few perl modules, and you have all thatis needed
to run SpamAssasin+spamd.

I think atlest this approach is worth thingking of.
