I've just discarded 56 spam messages caught by london.pm's anti-spam member- only policy. It was tedious, and is unlikely to get better. They all share the trait of having HTML in them.
Is there any reason to continue to permit text/html or multipart/mixed messages anywhere in @london.pm.org ?
Yes. Some people have no choice but to use crippled clients which insist on sending out bizarre formats. Now of course if they *only* send $fucked_up_format_of_the_week then they should be rogered with large barbed-wire dildos (and thrown off the list), but provided that there is a text/plain alternative then I see nothing particularly wrong with it.
If you are finding the task of approving/deleting non-member posts too time-consuming for just one person to handle, I'd be happy to help out.
