Sorry, this is a stupid suggestion. 1) The spam still makes it onto the list archives - See: http://marc.info/?l=haproxy&r=1&b=201409&w=2
2) It dilutes the mailing list content by creating a massive drop in signal to noise (24+ spam messages in the past day?!?) 3) It causes the reputation as a mail sender of the haproxy mailing lists to be greatly reduced - meaning eventually hosts will reject mail from the list - legit or not. 4) This is a problem that has been 'solved' on other mailing lists for at least a decade. 5) It gives the impression to people wanting to use haproxy that the admin team don't know what they're doing. I've gotten more spam from this single list in the last 24 hours than I have from the total of ALL my other mailing lists in the past few months. If you aren't going to do proper spam filtering, AT LEAST do moderation of non-member posts. This single action will just about cure the spam problem. Its starting to become a joke.
