Peace, sir - I was not criticising the way the list is run. However, you
stated "they never make it to the list" and implied the spam problem was
within the email account of the poster, which you just admitted was
incorrect.
I *wasn't* suggesting the list be filtered more aggressively - I was
saying that removing the spam from the list would require more
aggressive (read: more prone to false positives) filtering. The cure
would in many ways be worse than the disease (at least at it's current
level).
Unfortunately, until they make a legal hunting season for spammers, we
must all simply put up with it. I suggest forwarding all the spams over
to Spamcop to attempt to shut the spammers down (just make sure you ding
the spammer's servers and not LMKL's!)
