Not entirely true.  Many installations refuse to permit per-user rules.

your own rules.)

Fair enough. Which leads me to what I've said before, which is that the only legitimate reason left for providing hooks for integrating tools like SpamAssassin or SpamBayes inside of Mailman itself, is for those people who don't have full control over their MTA.

It's still better to integrate tools like SpamAssassin and SpamBayes as early in the process as possible, but sometimes there are limits as to what is possible.


Now, in Lindsey's case, we're both members of a local Unix user group here in Austin, and I happen to know that he owns the entire machine. So, it's certainly possible for him to install SpamAssassin with the full user-level rules incorporated. Of course, that may be a non-trivial task, but it's still an option that is available to him.
