I've spent a lot of time over the last few days trying to make htdig work with my installation of mailman 2.1.5. I installed the patches and rebuilt everything, set up the configuration, rebuilt my archives using arch and everything seemed (mostly) fine until I tried to index the archive and do

I would suggest; 1) Sendmail ~ has settings to filter spam like if the domain (DNS lookup) does not exist, reject it. Other smtp/mta applications have similar settings. Do a google, for these things, there is lots of info. 2) The single most effective anti-spam system I have seen is grey listing,
