I personally handle lists using the ListID: header that is almost universal now. These are typical:
>To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: Only way to stop the sex and drug SPAM? >Reply-To: [email protected] >List-ID: <g3-5-list.googlegroups.com> My list address is filtered using a white list of subscribed ListID: headers. Not there, the message is spam. There are a few exceptions and I do look for a subject that is an exact duplicate of something I have recently sent. That helps for folks who still think replies to lists ought to be sent To: the poster with a copy to the list. (That was a good idea when lists could take more than a day to respond over a telephone or usenet connection.) If you speak perl have a look at: <ftp://ftp.macnauchtan.com/Pair/qfilter_list.pl> The list server is usually pretty good at filtering out spam sent to the list for re-distribution. They have the advantage of an allowed list of posters who can be cut off for bad messages. But it can still happen that a subscriber's computer can get infected and distribute messages over a list, Such things are usually detected and stopped quickly. -- --> The U. S.
