A whitelist effectively stops spam. You have to check a possibly spammable keyspace, spam can be removed from it mechanically. Think cash requires this as well. It just uses a token instead of a signature as the credential which it checks when removing spam. > > 3) Human filtering of spam.

Yes, human filtering eliminates spam for the users of a list/group. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From - Wed May 2 08:53:46 2001 Return-Path: <devl-admin at freenetproject.org> Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (postfix@[4.18.42.11]) by funky.danky.com (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA04079 for <danello at danky.com>; Tue, 1 May 2001 23:51:33 -0400 Received: from hawk.freenetproject.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7AC4658128; Tue, 1 May 2001 21:32:02 -0700 (PDT) Delivered-To: devl at freenetproject.org Received: from snorkel.uits.indiana.edu (snorkel.uits.indiana.edu [129.79.6.186]) by hawk.freenetproject.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 541DB58122 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Tue, 1 May 2001 21:31:48 -0700 (PDT) Received: from obsidian.dtdns.net (mail at wi-82-133.willkie.indiana.edu [149.159.82.133]) by snorkel.uits.indiana.edu (8.10.1/8.10.1/IUPO) with ESMTP id f424QT630346 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Tue, 1 May 2001 23:26:29 -0500 (EST) Received: from scgmille by obsidian.dtdns.net with local (Exim 3.22 #1 (Debian)) id 14uoDc-0008Kj-00 for <devl at freenetproject.org>; Tue, 01 May 2001 23:26:28 -0500 To: devl at freenetproject.org Subject: Re: [freenet-devl] FCP Layer #3: Stacks Message-ID: <20010501232628.A32016 at indiana.edu> References: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0105010027160.11646-100000 at kayak.charm.net> <Pine.OSF.4.33.0105010006550.22403-100000 at moe.cc.utexas.edu> <20010501093706.A1240 at indiana.edu> <20010501173527.A901 at execpc.com> <20010501164546.B5884 at indiana.edu> <20010501232954.A1074 at execpc.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="ikeVEW9yuYc//A+q" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.17i In-Reply-To: <20010501232954.A1074 at execpc.com>; from bemann at execpc.com on Tue, May 01, 2001 at 11:29:54PM -0400 From: "Scott G.
