I have long thought that mailing lists should be
configured to reject messages with a Subject of
"Re: [the subject format for the list's digest messages]".
Maybe a scan of the message content for a copy
of the digest prologue would be a good idea as well.
and now I want to implement something like this.
Will this generic Spam filter work:
Subject: Re: \[.*\] .* Digest, Vol [0-9]+, Issue [0-9]+
As I hold such catches rather than bin them, I get by with a slew of less
fancy regexps against any header. They all pretty much like -
^subject:.*digest.*
with checks for test, spam, virus, scam, help, ...
Some are worth being slightly fancy on, eg - ^subject:.*\btest.* - so
latest gets through :-)
Don't forget - ^subject:.*The results of your email commands -
and the final triplet so messages with no subject get caught, see Mark's
