We have pretty much everything enabled on the lists, including 
Greylisting, but Greylisting doesn't help is someone sends the spam 
through 'legit channels' ... like most anti-spam software, they do have a 
finite lifetime before the spams just work around them ...

press is one of the only lists we run, though, that doesn't restrict 
posters to it (ie. you don't have to be subscribed to post to it), so its 
easier for the stray spam to get through to the subscribers ... not sure 
why we don't have restrict_post set on it though ... JoshB and RobertT are 
both owners of the list, maybe they can comment ... ?
