Hi Riley,

I run SpamAssassin 2.53 which gets up to all kinds of tricks to avoid
this stuff, it too stops lots of rubbish but a lot of the DOSEMU list
spam gets through.  Today I think seven or eight sent via the list got
through before I posted my message.

I'd be very interested to know what filter(s) other people use and how
they perform with respect to

(a) stopping spam through the DOSEMU list and

(b) recognizing legitimate emails, be it through maioling lists or not.

I too need to be on several lists (although the DOSEMU list is for me
a relatively low priority) and I'm concerned that I don't start losing
legitimate messages (it might be customers trying to place orders:).

Finally I'd like to know why the DOSEMU list filters don't stop
something that Riley's filter does.  I'd have thought that anyone
running a mailing list ought to have a better filter than any of
us punters out here who are just using it.

If anyone has any pointers, I'd be glad to hear from them, privately
if this is considered too far OT.

73,
Ged.
