Can you please do something about the spam on the list?

On the serious side, i find it a problem as well.

<can-of-worms> ...or only allow posting from subscribers </>


won't really help with the number of viruses and
M$ machines (MUAs) lingering around even among
the linux-vserver community ...

or do you prefere to receive trusted 'Out of office', 'Code Red' or whatever spam from actual ml subscribers?

This is not a valid argument, because the list already would accept the above mentioned type of mail. Allowing posts only from subscribers cuts out 99.9% spam instantly, while manual moderation done by volunteers can take care of the rest of non-subscribed posts.


If I were to run this mailing list, I would use:

* Subscriber only posting.
* spamassassin (with auto-whitelisting and bayesian) to filter subscriber posts into the mailman moderation queue.
* Antivirus to drop virus mail instantly.
* A few volunteers with list moderator passwords to take care of non-subscriber and spamassassin flagged posts.


I can make this happen fairly quickly if the leadership agrees to repoint the list.linux-vserver.org address to my mail server.
