Hello,
I have two spam-related questions, one relevant to Mailman and one not.
Apologies for the one that isn't, but I hope you will endulge this query.
A person has been spoofing Email addresses on a number of
blindness-related Email lists this week. I won't go into the particulars
as it's

My mailing list is already set up to hold posts from non-members but I'm
getting very fed up of having to manually reject spam. In particular, it's
Yahoo! addresses which are the biggest sinners. Has anyone written any
kind of Mailman add-on that will allow me to:

By setting bounce_matching_headers I have mailman trapping some messages
with content likely to be spam. This works really well, and I can approve
the false positives to go through. I would like to check not just headers
but the message body. There are a few phrases that would be good to catch

One would beleive, according to the front page of list.org, that mailman
has integrated spam filters. Reading through the documentation and a bit
of the source Im not quite sure how that is defined. Years ago I asked
what "hooks for external (web) archivers" meant and was told that you can

Over the years a lot of things have been surprises to the SPF folks.
I'm sorry for the misinformation, but the SPF promoters have been
guilty of "excessive optimism

But isn't that the problem? In the situation these methods are
designed for, the MTA is signing mail for a trusted party, presumably

Front-end your mailing lists with a procmail filter that uses
SpamAssassin.

Thanks, but as I said, I'm configuring mailman on a SourceForge-hosted
mailing list. Installing SpamAssassin there is not within my power.

Thanks, but I already do that.

No you can't answer, or no it can't be done? ;-)
Thanks anyway!

Hi all – it appears some our lists are getting spam more frequently with
messages that contain hyperlinks from different members (possibly from
compromised emails). Two questions please:
a) Is it a good idea to block/filter out of messages that contain
hyperlinks?
b) If so, how can
Does Mailman base64 decode the subject before applying a regex, and if
so, can I use UTF-8 character names in the regex to match various
types of 8-bit characters?
Say, for example, that I want to block messages with "电话卡" somewhere
in the subject line.
Obviously, the actual raw Subject header wi
