Re: [Openexr-devel] RE: latest flood of UCE

The spam is probably coming from senders not subscribed to the mailing list, so changing the Mailman settings to only accept postings from subscribed addresses would stop most of it.

Just my two € cent...

Bogofilter ( http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/) does the trick for me.

Attempting to block spam at some intermediate point, or at the source,
is like attempting to fix the New Orlean's dike after Katrina with
just your finger.  Maybe it worked in Holland, but that was a long
time ago.

You are exceedingly lucky if the OpenEXR list is your only significant
source of spam.  I receive thousands of messages a day here.  I don't
recall any from the OpenEXR list that survived bogofilter's tests.
