FWIW, you can set up the listserv so that it simply discards stuff from unsubscribed posters. This would fix LAA as well and as such it seems to me like a reasonable compromise since spammers in most cases are not subscribed to the list and if a poster really wants to post on a particular list they might as well subscribe to it. I am sure there may be some who would disagree with this kind of a policy and thus I think it is ultimately up to you to decide what you deem best solution/compromise.
Yes I did think about this. The best solution would be a slight modification to the listserv to be able to filter things out based on the subject line. Most people posting on the list add an [ANN] header to their mail, which is a good practice and could lead to auto-acceptation of there mail. spamassassin adds a *** JUNK MAIL *** header which could lead to an auto-reject. The rest could be subject to moderation with the possibility to feed new emails to spamassassin to make it's filtering more accurate. I would be surprised if no one ever thought about that... It's about the same work flow as in a email client running some smart spam filter (Thunderbird for instance). __________________ Marc-Olivier Barre, Markinoko.
