It's much easier: just discard all of them, Ah, so you go for the "let us prove that we are a big faceless corporation who does not care about you, because we have more money in the bank the the gross national product of the country you live in approach". >At some point you have to be realistic about how meaningful some effort is and draw the line. High touch solutions are not easy high tech solutions. The _correct_ way to win hearts and minds, is to use High Touch methods. > In other words, there are humans who check all messages from > unsubscribed addresses to block spam? > But a lot of spam comes without subject, just like a lot of real questions > from unsubscribed users. a) Less than 1% of the spam I get t this account has no subject line. I'm guessing that more than 1% of the messages on the various OOo lists I am subscribed to have no subject line. b) I suspect that a Bayes f(?sp) filter could detect/eliminate more spam than relying on the lack of a subject line. >So, what do the moderators do? I am not a moderator on any OOo list. I have run mailing lists in the past, and currently moderate a couple on yahoogroups. I don't have to open and read the messages on the lists I currently moderate, or used to run, to know if they were spam or not.
