As we have a very efficient process now to deal with spam on list archives, I'd also like to share my own way to deal with all this as it comes. Nothing fancy and indeed something possible for ages already...but maybe not as widely known as it should be. When I identify a spam while I'm reading a Debian mailing list, I use a mutt macro, that's hooked on a key (ESC-L). This is done the following way: macro index \eL "[email protected]\ny\nq" "report as spam to Debian lists" macro pager \eL "[email protected]\ny\n" "report as spam to Debian lists" This way, as soon as I come on a spam, I can "report" a spam by bouncing it to the mail address meant for this. If I properly understand the spam handling system, if at least 5 people do the same, then the spam will be added to those needing a review, at the next run of the weekly script recently added by listmasters. PS: please note that this macro, as is, will work with a *non localized* mutt. For instance, if mutt is localised in French (indeed mine is), the "y" should be replaced by a "o".
