For one thing, you should be filtering using tools like SpamAssassin within your MTA and not within Mailman. Regardless of which version of Mailman you use, you should not be integrating an anti-spam tool like SpamAssassin directly into it. For another, versions of Mailman after 2.1.5 gave you the ability to filter on tags placed on the message earlier in the handling process (e.g., by SpamAssassin that is integrated into your MTA), and take hold/discard/reject/etc... decisions based on that information *before* the list looks at whether or not the sender is a member, etc.... This combination is extremely powerful. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trend Micro has announced that they will cancel the stop.mail-abuse.org mail forwarding service as of 15 November 2006.
