Well sourceforge is the only one that can Spamassassin mail coming in. The spamassassin mailing list encountered this problem, and they had to close their list off because of all the spam. They just added in exceptions for people who want to post from other accounts. They would be non-subscribing accounts, allow people to post, while not sending duplicate email. --Luke

Is there something that can be done other than close the list?
