 You mean forcing all subscribers to use gpg
 Although I love the idea of forcing people to
 sign their mails

 I fear there is no way we can get away with that.

not for all posts, just for those unsubscribed. 

given that there's a rising tide of demand to make all lists subscriber
only, i think that this would be better than simply sending all
unsubscribed posts to /dev/null.

  This would leave open for moderation only a few broad lists (for
  instance [EMAIL PROTECTED], which I have the pleasure to
  moderate :-( ), killing a lot of wasted hours.
 
  Also, FYI, joes2 is doing some info gathering on moderation  
  request to
  aid us in filtering incoming moderation spam. See
  irc://irc.freenode.net/#asfinfra for more info.
 
 Language is english for all lists. Filtering out
 mails with all kinds of weird characters would be
 a first step. Still wondering why we don't have
 that already.

  i've been wondering for a while whether it'd be better to move towards
  bots and some sort of web app for smarter collaborative moderation.  
  (one
  moderators marks a message as spam and all identical ones are
  automatically rejected from all pending lists.)
 
 That would be much better ...but it's also quite
 an effort to set this up. I just don't know whether
 it's worth it for those few cross postings

i have personal itches about some of the required technologies and i
know some of the spam assassin guys are keen on some of the others.
maybe i'll try to ambush some people on irc...

 Please try out current svn (r232390) version [4] and test for any

The big regression test named Gump didn't see issues and my test
running Ant's regexp tests all passed as well.

 To be cross platform dont expect more than 2sec.

Ant uses 2 secs on windows and 1 sec on Unix as a heuristic.  It is
not correct (it depends on the filesystem, not the OS[1]) but a good
guess in most cases.

Footnotes: 
[1]  NTFS could be better than 2 secs, while a FAT fs mounted via
 SMB on Linux would need 2 for example.
