hi patric, i am not a spam expert but why not 'whitelist' (hope this is the term) the lprng ML members and add new members manualy only. robots that subscribe to the ml can be cauth that way (hopefully no idea who there mails look to humans, perhaps you can add a line like "what is your main interesse ?" (other ppl stay out of cause).

I have just found that our secondary mail server is getting about 10 times the mail that the actual mail server is. The secondary will accept the mail then send it to the mail server, which bounces it. The secondary will then try to send a bounce message back to the (non-existent, of course) spammer. Grrrr.... I have spent more time on mail issues in the last month than any other professional activity.
