ML spam

[Vít Ondruch]

Hi,

As a moderator of ML I am wondering, why I should every day moderate the
spam posts (although they never reach the ML). Is there some filter
before the email enters a moderator queue? Could the sensitivity of
filter be increased or something like that?

I've just added these setting to automatic discard list (Privacy
Options category → Sender filters)

^.*\.ru$
^.*hotmail\.com$

Let's see how it goes.

Looking on recent spam emails, it would catch less then 10% of them.
Moreover, the ML already knows that there is chance these are spams, so
the bar could be raised a bit. This looks like big inefficient hammer to me.

There's not any filtering currently. 

I know it's a issue (I moderate a number of lists myself), but I've
been trying to hold off implementing anything until we move to
mailman3/hyperkitty. I don't want to put a lot of work into something
now that we have to just redo once mailman3 is in place. 

Follow:

for progress on filtering in mailing lists. 

Happily, we are getting closer to that...

I knew that this will be answer ;) and it is understandable. So looking
forward to mailman3.

Thanks anyway
