@Mehul can you please share the filters here for the benefit of all (some of us administer mailman). To the PLUG list owners and policy setters: I did not realize that other members (non spammers) were under moderation on this list until I commented on it earlier today. I suggest that PLUG implement filters like those put in place by ILUG-Mumbai and ILUG-Chennai. I guess ILUG-Delhi also has similar filters in place as there is not much spam there as well. To the best of my knowledge, all three lists are unmoderated; the few members who do not respect the list rules are taken care of by the members at large. For a few bad apples please do not have rules that catch legit messages; puts them in the moderation queue and to add salt to injury allows spams (e.g. invitations) to the list.
