PS. Seriously, send as much as you like. It’s nowhere near as annoying as the
real thing.

A lot of interesting thoughts and good spam fighting heuristics can be found

I had been under the impression that only subscribers could post directly to the
mailing list, and that the spam was spilling over form the newsgroup.
It seems I was wrong on both counts; I don’t see the same spam messages on
c.l.r, and there are no restrictions on who can post to the list.

Now there’s a first for a mailing list!
Would such restrictions be a good idea?
Definitely. There’s absolutely nothing to lose. People who post to the list
wouldn’t receive it anyway if they’re not a member - unless they send from a
different account, which is unlikely. And there’s always the newsgroup.
