I'm also reading this on gmail... but many spams are not caught by gmail here... (10+ last day)
If not implementing anti-spam.... we could perhaps go to a moderated system - Subscribed users pass moderation automatically - Non-subscribed users need to be moderated, and will be added to the allowed-posting list - Spam can be blocked and blacklisted immediately - No spam will enter the archives, no spam will be sent to the subscribers. I'm willing to co-moderate the list... if we have a hand full of people doing this, we can make sure that posts by non-subscribers are approved relatively quickly Any chance of getting this done?
