Another option (what we do at Tux4Kids) is to set up SpamAssassin/Vipul'sRazor. Using this, we manage to filter out MOST (not all, but most) spam from lists that allow non-subscriber posts.
For example, so far, this particular item of spam has been caught at Tux4Kids, but the following: http://tux4kids.net/pipermail/tuxtype-dev/2002-April/000029.html is one that never gets caught. begin quote: On 02-09-23, Bill Kendrick wrote: > > The first copy of this I got, I thought was spam. > > Then I noticed it was to the debian-jr list, so I decided maybe it's > some Linux project I had never heard of. > > > Now I see this identical message, and finally visit their site. > It's for some cable descrambler hardware. > > > Can someone unsubscribe this spammer - assuming they are, in fact, > subscribed. > > If they aren't, I'll assume that non-subscribers can post to the list, > and I suggest we consider changing that policy. > > > -bill! -- Sam Hart University/Work addr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Personal addr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> end
