I just wanted to mention that I appreciate this. This is the only FreeBSD list that has a serious spam problem, and it's unfortunate, as it always seemed to me there was always a way to combat the problem better, even if the list allows open posting. I run SA but whitelist all discussion list email, as almost none of them have spam - maybe one or two slip through, but that's it. Although my methods aren't your responsibility, it's much easier this way on my end, rather than having to feed all list email through SA (which is a rather large volume, and I don't use a separate machine for it). Anyhoot, I didn't want to complain about it as there's usually more pressing matters, but, if you've taken some measures to help, thanks :) - jt _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://freebsd.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd
