Re: spam via anything@apache.org

[Jeff Dever <je...@dever.ca>]

I'm surprised there were no replies to this.  Spam thorough my 
apache.org account is brutal.  We are talking on the order of a 1000 
messages every couple weeks.  Mozilla does a pretty good job identifying 
spam, but I have had to rescue more than one important messaged from the 
junk.

There must be some savings in bandwith, aggrivation and money that can 
be made by using spamassassin or somthing on the server.  I moderate the 
HttpClient mailing list, and do my part by rejecting many spam messages 
everyday but I sure wish the obvious ones could be handled automaticly.

Hi!

Perhaps, you can filter some (many! :) spam mails by using
pretty good perl script originally written by Brian :)

"committers" module (@cvs)
 - docs/wehatespam.txt
...  for more information.
# cvs/committers/docs/wehatespam.txt

Cheers,
