Wish this list would use e.g., mailman, where one can turn off delivery.

Indeed I use spamassassin to defend against its own list,
score J_SA_MAILING_LIST 55
as I read this list on gmane.org but still wish to post.

Adding footers to the message or tagging the subject line invalidates 
the DKIM signature.  You can turn off these features in 
mailman.  There is a configuration option to retain the original DKIM 
signature.

Also, not to forget that mailman in its current version invalidates and 
removes DKIM signatures, while this mailing lists stays faithful and keeps
messages intact and retains original signatures. (there is supposedly some
mailman patch floating around to fix that, but I don't know where).

We use what the ASF provides to us for free.

No wonder.

Be sure to document this wherever you document that there is a mailing
list.

Otherwise users spend hours all the way at the ezmlm mail system
source code site looking for how to do it.

------------------------- END OF REPLIED MESSAGE -------------------------

Thanks for this info, I was not aware about it.
I will immediatly unsubscribe and resubscribe to the new address since
I am reading from an archive and my E-Mail I sue here is already spamed
by 500-200000 messages per day (depending on the day of the week)

And yes, curently i am hit per day by OVER 200000 messages per day.

But since spamassassin is to slow, I catch them with a procmail-recipe
and get over 95% of them, the rest is checked by spamassassin and some
other tools.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day

You can do the equivalent (to turn off delivery) by un-subscribing from the
user's list and subscribing to users-allow@spamassassin.apache.org .
