Hi Paul -- There was a thread on this a few days ago: http://markmail.org/message/3owf4stkkbqeltz2 So we have several options, each with their own tradeoff's. In the previous discussion option #3 looked attractive. What do you think? The 80-120 moderation requests you are seeing -- are these from list subscribers who are sending spam? Or non-list subscribers? What % of your moderation posts are legit? We use SpamAssasin on the Apache lists, so we might get different results. -Rob > /paul >
