RE: [Mailman-Users] Dealing with Spam

[Rajib A. Momen]

I’ve noticed that in the new beta version, you can set it so that it automatically gets deleted. I don’t remember if it was possible in 2.0.13. I suggest getting the beta, it’s got a bunch of new features, and has no other problems associated with it.   Best regards, Rajib Momen   -----Original Message----- From: Jerry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2002 7:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mailman-Users] Dealing with Spam   I've run into a problem that I'm sure someone must have addressed by now, and I appologize in advance if this is an old thread. (A search of the archives returned so many near misses that I finally gave up looking.) I run a private mailMan list with a little over a hundred subscribers, and each day I must deal with about a dozen spam messages held for my approval. I've read everything I could find, but have not discovered a way to have mailMan automatically delete these messages. The closest I came was in one of the FAQs, where it was suggested that I run a cron script that would delete them. The only problem with that was that the script also deletes subscription requests. (I can't imagine anyone thinking that was a satisfactory solution!) Surely there's a better way! Anyone?     All the best, Jerry
