Anyone experienced similar? The spambouncer script makes the same incorrect assumption that the EarthLink SPAM stuff makes, which is that any mail not explicitly addressed to you is SPAM. In other words, they expect mailing lists to violate the draft RFC that prohibits header rewriting by mailing lists, and they expect all mailing list servers to eat the overhead of expanding each message to a single recipient message, instead of sending the messages in bulk if the destination domain is identical. At least the spambouncer script can be modified to respect the Sender: header, which EarthLink fails to respect in their list of allowed senders. This is pretty much how you should modify the spambouncer code to handle mailing lists (and how EarthLink should modify their anti-SPAM system, as well, but probably won't). -- Terry ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Filter mails from FreeBSD mailing lists with List-Id: header in procmail before spam checking or filter by an different header like Sender. This works well under kmail with spamassassin.

Anyone experienced similar? Many anti-spam packages need to be tuned to avoid classifying non-spam messages as spam. Depending on the software, sometimes it isn't possible to avoid a significant false positive rate, but a good spam filter (e.g. bogofilter) is one that doesn't have this characteristic.
