I have been getting a fair amount of spam in my efn inbox that looks like it is not being processed by the spam servers (no spamassassin headers). How are these getting through, and how would I plug up that hole? I'm considering spamassassin for my mail server and need to know how to deal with the issues. Any spamassassin experts want to jump in and give us a quick dissertation?

Thanks,
Christopher Maujean

Hal,
If the spam you received had gone through the list, we all would have gotten it. I dont think that Ive seen that specific one, so I cant even say its anyway associated with the list.
Ironicly, the email address I usually use on this list gets less spam than any other email address I use! I dont really see the list, or its archives as beeing an issue for spam.
My EFN account gets a ton of spam however. Ive had that account since 1995, and the rocksolidnetworks address since 1999, so it just may be a matter of one address being used more than the other, and around for a longer period of time. I also only use the linux email address for mailing lists (both here in the DC area, and back home in eugene. The linux address is also not included in mailto: links on my webpage, but other address's that do get a lot of spam are..
At anyrate, your always welcome to express concerns... sorry we couldnt nail the source of your spam, but I havnt seen any effective way to do anything about it... filtering is about your only option.
