  Since we still have this spam problem (how much does the black hole
list cost anyway?) and most spammers seem to use html in their
mailings, could we simply implement a filter which kills any mail to
the list which contains "<a href.*>.*</a>" (case insensitive)?
  Of course there may be some legitimate reason to write html code to
the list, but how big a chance would there be of killing legitimate
mail?
  How about looking at the recipient list: if there are more than,
say, five recipients, then kill the mail. The only case where a mail
should have that many recipients would seem to be a reply to all to a
cross-posted mail, which is evil anyway.
  Just some thoughts since I am totally fed up with all the spam I get
nowadays: debian.org stopped using black hole list and our university
stopped, too (same reason)! So now I get spam from both the lists and
otherwise.
