It's mostly wishful thinking. While there are "high-quality" spammers who cull their lists of non-existent addresses, they do this offline, not based on the results of a spew. Getting thousands or millions of rejections would slow down their spew. > 2) Is there some way to automatically reject or discard mail with > implicit destination rather than holding it for moderation? You could have a second to last rule in Privacy > Spam Filters that *accepts* if your list name is present in a To or CC header, and a last rule that *discards* everything (I think that a regexp that consists of a single dot "." can be used for this purpose). I agree there should be an easier way to do this, but I don't know what it is. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
