Re: About spam

Yes, it's getting on my nerves too.  On the other hand, I've got close
to a dozen different addresses and can never remember which address I
used on which list, which is a continuous pain, so I'm a bit wary.

Unix (SunOS).  I recently installed spamassasin for my private use,
which does quite well.  I suspect one could use that to filter mail to
the list, however, I'm not quite sure how to do that short of creating
an account for the list, which I would hate to do due to security
concerns.

Do you (one of you) have any idea how to curb spam without
inconveniencing legitimate posters?
