Is it a way to filter incoming messages (from subscribers) from the increasing amount of spam messages? I would be very interested in such a script.
My list is moderated, so none of the incoming crap ever gets distributed, but it is an annoying PITA to even see it.
Stan, I ran several lists (using smartlist) on servers over which I had no control for a number of years and had zero real spam on the lists without even having to have them moderated (so I never saw it either). The key was simply to be strict about what was acceptable: no html no attachments reasonable size limitations only subscribers allowed to post no automatic subscription (either a confirm package or by-invitation-only) plus a few simple tests to catch the occasional virus-generated spoof.
