The amount of spam on this list is very low, and as long as it remains this low I prefer not to do anything else because I really don't want to hear that some people can't post because their mails are unexpectedly considered as spam. For the same reason I don't want to restrict posting to susbscribers only, this is a particularly annoying and rude way to run a list. Quite honnestly, I found no spam today and only one yesterday. I get something between 8000 and 12000 a day on my home server, so one in two days is just nothing. As a comparison, there are a few tens a day on a list such as LKML which already involves advanced filtering. And if putting better filters is that easy, I'm sure every subscriber has already done it on his side and is not concerned with those few spams. Thanks, Willy
