I didnt claim that. I claimed that filtering backscatter will not work in the long run and didnt work in the last week. The latter is definitly true, for the former I am very happy to be proven wrong. (I just doubt it will be the case in the long run: there will be always new backscatter (new languages, new wordings) which is something which can hardled without redesigning email and people, thats why I think we will go to moderation some day, just because keeping subscribed people is more importannt than a delay in posting appearance (and the potential of loss due to bad moderation) of unsubscribed posters.) > It certainly doesn't motivate this listmaster to have anything more to > deal with this issue. Best of luck. I'm sorry that my frustration about a problem you're fighting well has demotivated you. You're work is very much appreciated. (Sigh, _I_ can deal with such backscatter, mental ignore works just fine _for me_ with the tiny amount your filters let through. The lists just doesnt seem to want to / aint able.) To bring this back to something more constructive again, as I want to help improve the filters, I'd still like to know the answer to this: Do you also requiere three backscatter reports like you do for spam submitted over the webinterface? regards, Holger
