Hi all,
Togheter with Effeietsanders I am administering the wikilovesmonuments-l
mailing list[0].
This list is receiveing huge amounts of spam messages (quick stat: we are
talking about 20 messages per hour).
We have tried to implement some spam filter rules following this[1] (a page
which I have edited myself) but basically we were unable to get any effect of
sorts.
Here's the two spam filtering rules I have created:
* Rule 1: X-Spam-Score: [+]{2,99}
* Rule 2: X-Spam-Score: [*]{2,99}
I have added both rules with "+" and "*" to be sure, and I have specified the
numbers (more or equal than 2 and less or equal than 99) because in my first
try the rule with just {2,} (i.e. "more or equal than 2") was not working.
The fact is that the solution didn't work out in the end (we were still holding
in our moderation queue lots and lots of messages with an high spam score) and
so we are changing the default policy for the list about non-member messages
from "Hold" to "Reject" (see [2])
This was quite frustrating, but we were unable to fix the problem is
some other way. I am sharing this to make sure I wasn't making some
sort of stupid mistake in the rules.
This other bug report is related[3].
Thank you.
Cristian
