I have made all mailing lists on linuxprinting.org subscriber-only to avoid spam getting onto the lists. If this guy is not subscribed (which is probably the case) one could block him out by making the SANE subscriber-only, too. If he subscribes to lists only to get spam onto them, the list admin should unsubscribe him, and if the mailing list software allows it, blacklist his address against re-subscribing.
It is very awkward for every list user to set up filter rules personally. In addition, scanning problems can never be solved by auto-responders, also they don't give any suggestion to make SANE better. Should postings which are obviously from auto-responders be blocked out in general? At least the sender domain "tollyboy.com" should be blocked. You are explaining the exact steps how to set a filter rule which deletes these mails (or does it even forward them automatically to [email protected]?), but you don't tell which mail client you are using. My Mozilla has no "Filter" pull-down menu (but also a filter dialog, but this dialog has no auto-forwarding to [email protected]).
