Re: Spam blocking & list delivery

Yes.  Indeed.  It's a sad state of affairs in that this mailinglist list
isn't the only sourceforce mailing list that is being exploited by spammers.

Do we know if there is a common mailing list infrastructure that applies to
all the sourceforce lists?  

Wouldn't it make the most sense to apply some change that would benefit all
the mailing lists?

Just some questions to contribute to the conversation.

Cheers,
	Erik.
