Though, come to think of it, I was wrong about -devel : I'm sure that -users and -beginners have restricted postings, and they don't get spam. Fink-devel is set up for open postings, because it's also the channel to report feedback on unmaintained packages: no need to make users subscribe

You could make it have restricted postings, and set up an email address that users would send their feedback reports to, that would forward the message to the list. Would that reduce the spam? Or, could you have it moderated for mesages from non-subscribers only? - Nicholas Robbins

Yo folks, sadly we are getting more and more spam on this list. I have to wonder if we after all should make it moderated like fink-users, too (that essentially means that only members can post to the list; non-member will have to be approved by the list admin). I am not exactly fond of the

If my vote counts, mark it down as an emphatic no. Making things more cumbersome for humans is not a good way to deal with spam. I use SpamAssassin on my mailserver and the *only* Fink spam I've ever seen is when someone on the list has hit reply-all on a spam message. Pressure on SF.net is
