[Biojava-l] spam to biojava-l

[Kalle Näslund]

I agree that the spam is a serious annoyance, what about trying to use 
SpamAssasin ? i dont
have much personal experience with it, by several of my friends swear by 
it, and says it
works well.

SpamAssasin tries to analyse the text, and if it finds enough spam like 
content, it flags the
mail as Spam, and removes it. The ammount of spam like findings needed 
for a rejection
can be configured to ones liking. And in every day use, its very 
uncommon that legimit
mails get filtered out as spam. But to avoid that little little chance, 
an alternative is to
only run spamassasin on posts from people that havent registered to the 
mailinglist.

SpamAssasin can be found at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/spamassassin/ and the requirements
arent that big, basicly you need perl and a few perl modules, and you 
have all thatis needed
to run SpamAssasin+spamd.

I think atlest this approach is worth thingking of.
