I still haven't figured out quite how to solve the problem. In
theory we could use some other tool to perform the gateway operation.
Instead of passing Usenet postings directly to Mailman it would mail
them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] where they would get the spam filter
treatment before Mailman sees them. I'm still thinking about the
full ramifications of that. It might be easier to get Mailman's
news-to-mail gateway to mail incoming Usenet messages to the list
address instead of directly distributing them to the subscribers
though. I don't believe Mailman does that out of the box (but I
would love to be wrong here). Has anyone tried implementing that?
If so, got a patch or a recipe for how to configure Mailman to
operate this way?
Few follow up questions:
1) Will someone please provide the Path: header for a number (3 - 8) of
the spam messages? I suspect that the messages are originating from
googlegroups.com which is /notorious/ for spam.
2) Does gate_news have the ability to filter (gateway or not) messages
based on the contents of the Path: header in the Usenet message?
3) Is it possible to have gate_news call some of the other freely
available Usenet spam filters that already exist? Why re-invent the
wheel if we can hook in to already existing filters on the Usenet side.
