I was thinking of possible solutions to avoid our recent fun on debian-security with mail bombings...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /var/log/exim/mainlog.0 | grep debian-security | grep
\<\= | wc -l

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /var/log/exim/mainlog | grep debian-security | grep
\<\= | wc -l

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /var/log/exim/mainlog | grep debian-devel | grep \<\=
| wc -l

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /var/log/exim/mainlog.0 | grep debian-devel | grep
\<\= | wc -l

See above...
One thought that occured to me is to recruit volunteers for spam-prone lists
that would have real-time blacklists capabilities. Someone could log into a
system and say "Add this address to the list's blacklist". This could be
accomplished via sudo (to run the script as a user /w privlidges to the
blacklist) and a well written perl script. If the consensus is hat this would
be a good and implementable idea then I can write the perl script. I would
also volunteer to monitor the lists I am on...
