[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-11880) add charset spam filter

["Greg Stein (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11880?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15325521#comment-15325521 ] 

Greg Stein commented on INFRA-11880:
------------------------------------

Reinforcing the "major" priority (IMO). The bulk of spam to our ASF mailing lists, which lead to moderation are in non-latin character sets. Enabling the charset filter would drop moderation *easily* by 80%.

> Much of the recent spam to the lists that I moderate use cyrillic or some middle eastern character set (hebrew? arabian?). We do not allow non-English on *most* of our mailing lists, so such messages should have a seriously high spam score. The same would apply to most/all non-latin charsets (eg. also chinese/japanese/etc).
> AOO may have lists where such is allowed, so it may be necessary to have an "escape hatch" for the filter on a per-list basis.
> In email, Chris mentioned that SpamAssassin appears to have some language-based filters.
