I find that setting the list to require the list as an explicit addressee is one of the most effective filters for spam that makes it through the MTA's gauntlet. I wouldn't let a *possible* increase in spam stop me, but do check that people aren't spamming your archives, and perhaps strengthen other defenses. For example, back when my lists still allowed HTML posting, my host got a "cease-and-desist" notice from a MasterCard lawyer. Some miscreant was storing cracked credit card numbers in an HTML comments in messages to the list, and distributing to his "clients" from the Mailman archive. (Of course this is a generic problem, but "silent posting" makes it more dangerous.) ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
