 All,

 First I'd like to point out that we have implemented filters 
(spamfilter.nl.linux.org) and some custom kludges that weed 
out over seven houndred spams weekly (last four weeksaverage).

 We can implement moderation for non-subscriber posts per list 
if there are moderators available. For all lists this is not 
just possible.

 I've been playing with spamassassin and it really looks promising.
Only problem with it is too high cpu usage, but I guess we can 
live with some slowness when looking at the alternatives. Need 
to pull some figures about incoming mails.

 Basically it just needs tuning. I'm going to run it against 
listmaster mailboxes and spamfolders today to see what it lets 
through. I guess we can use the existing subscriber lists as 
whitelists, just need to figure out how.

 I could use some help with this. Please contact listmaster or 
bug me in irc if you can do something besides talking.

           Thanks.
