[OT] Re: Spam

How about you just add the rule:

  :0:
  * Content-Type:.*charset=.ks
  junk

to your procmailrc (if you use procmail, if you don't, then
start). I can't read Korean anyway, so I might as well
filter all mail with that charset. Or try spamassassin:

  Why am I constantly getting this 'spam' from blackbox mail list?
  Surely it can be filtered our, or a moderation system introduced.

 my vote goes to 'only moderated posts only if sending from an address
 which isn't subscribed to list', too :) spam get's really annoying
 the last months.

That's a fine suggestion for how to deal with it once it's been received. 
However, for a list, that's dealing with the problem at the wrong end. 
Each piece of spam sent to the list sent out to all the subscribers of the
list.  This means not only a lot of wasted bandwidth, but that each
subscriber now has to deal with the same spam over and over again.  For
any problem, it's best to deal with it as soon as possible.  In this case
at the server for the mailing list, not at the subscriber's system.
