meta-comment: please don't respond to spam or inappropriate messages on the mailing lists. It just adds pointless volume.

Can someone set the MTA / MLM to reject that sort of garbage?

The mailing list managers do a heroic job of holding back the spam tide. If you had any idea how much spam gets blocked before we ever see it you'd nominate them for a medal.

That they do!

And I have a *very* good idea how much gets blocked - a prime use of our FreeBSD servers is for Exim-PostgreSQL MTA's.

I'm sure a medal or three would be very much in order - though more sleep, and watching botnet traffic drop off the radar would probably be more welcome.

But if we could have but 'one wish' - it would be end-user communities who understood that, yes, we DO need to block some folks they consider legitimate correspondents - because they are violating the most basic of requirements.
