Can SLUG be made subscriber only, or have some spam filters installed.
The S/N ratio is getting below unity.
I get no SPAM on this list. I'm not suggesting that none is sent to this
list but that perhaps you improve your SPAM filters?
How?
The trouble with spam filters is that they have to be trained, which
means you need to receive spam (the point of contention) and mark it as
such for the spam filter to recognise it as spam and hopefully it
recognises the next day's spam as spam.
And if you are using Thunderbird, it seems to drop most of it's load
every so often and needs to be re-educated (thwack, thwack, thwack).
I've found TB's spam filters to be better than SA's, and I have never
seen if lose its intelligence.

I'm begining to think I'd prefer a white-list/black list option than
some "mysterious" process that patently can not recognise obvious spam >
Of course, prepending everything with something that rejects all mail
with incorrectly spelt words would certainly cut spam incredibly {:-)
