In my experience the SourceForge folk are not totally unresponsive.
If the maintainers or weighty participants on this list ask SourceForge
to consider front-ending lists with spam filtering, they might come
closer to considering it.

Personally I'd rather they not do front-end filtering. From what I've heard their past (and possibly current) front-end spamfiltering mechanisms are causing problems for people who need to post to the list.


Clearly I'm capable of doing my own back-end filtering, and if I've got problems with it, I can fix it myself.

However if sourceforge does front-end filtering, if there's problems with it, I can do nothing.

I'm really of the opinion that filters belong on a MTA/MDA which is local to the recipient, and they never belong on a public list server.

Perhaps some very minimalist filters are OK, but in the general sense, filters just don't belong on listservs.. It offers no added value over back-end checks, and reduces flexibility for the end user by forcing someone else's filter config on them.
