The press email list is getting too many spam messages. It doesn't make
sense for me to remain in the hope I get see one non-spam message every
six months.

I thought we were using greylisting? You should get very little
spam.

There are about four spams a day, and a valid email perhaps once every
four months.

O.k. that is what I would expect. I personally get about 12 spams
a day but that is directly to jd@ . Think about how many spams are probably
really being sent to that address.
Honestly Bruce 4 spams is not that bad :) Do you have spam filtering
on your end? Something bayesian should pick up those 4.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

Well, at this point, 50% of spam I receive that has gotten through my
filters is though the press list, so removing that drops my spam by 1/2.

Wow, I'll trade you my mailbox for yours ... *evil grin* But, I don't
imagine those 4 are the *only* spam you get each day ... or is it?

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 ... ?

I am guessing because we don't want people seeking a press contact to
have to subscribe.

Actually, they wouldn't have to ... all that would happen is Robert/Josh
would get sent an email telling them that the message was there needing to
be approved ...

Yes, originally they didn't want the delay have something having to be
approved, but at this point, it might be the best solution.

So, don't. I'll stay on, I'm used to the spam. Plus my server filters
out another 50% of what gets past Marc.
