Hello again! I've had my list rejecting emails with a x-spam-score of 4 or
higher since late April 2023. I *think* it helped, but now things are way
worse than ever. We get 2-3 spam emails a day. According to <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Administration#Spam_filters>,
it would seem it's not possible to filter for values lower than 4. Is that
correct? If so, what else can be done to prevent spam?
It's getting to the point that maintaining this list is more trouble than
it's worth.
How could I go about migrating my list to using Google Groups? From my
experience as a member of another such email list, Google Groups seems to
come with spam prevention features, so I'd like to give that a try.
Thanks,
~ MusikAnimal
