Spam moderation is not a big problem on this list, mainly (I think) because it's a subscriber-only list and spam is almost always trapped by the list manager, both by checking membership and by using a Bayesian filter. Moderators get notice of anything held for approval and deal with it via a web interface, but it usually amounts to at most 2 or 3 cases per day, so not a big deal. (This, by the way, is how non-member posts get to the list; a moderator has to approve them). There are currently 3 moderators: myself, Andre Klapper and Adam Tauno Williams. Note that we have no control over the actual list hosting, i.e. we are not list admins. I imagine the spam problem might be greater on some other lists, especially those that accept posts from non-members. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
