I've been asked to clarify this, so I'll post to the list.

There was a similar suggestion regarding the unreadable SPAM a while ago,
hoping .jp could be blocked. The committee has agreed that blocking
individual posters and domains would be an absolute no-no, so this simply
wouldn't happen.

Erik's suggestion of blocking unreadable *encoding* seems to be a good one.
It's certainly a good resolution keep it in mind should the SPAM level
increase (is it really justified at this point?) A polite "please use latin
encoding" auto-reply would make this a kinder block as well.

The committee would have to agree on it, and I personally would like to see
a positive response from SLUGgers before we make any major changes such as
this.


Of course, there's always procmail:
