Here's how this list filters spam: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2006-01/msg00032.html I know of one gateway like gmane that claims their own filtering is effective, but I asked them to inhibit posting to the particular savannah mailing list I maintain, lest countermeasures to their filtering evolve. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
