Where do I sign? 🙂 Gavin PS. Seriously, send as much as you like.

I’d suggest having a look at [http://www.paulgraham.com](http://www.paulgraham.com) A lot of interesting thoughts and good spam fighting heuristics can be found there. It might give you some more ideas.

It might give you some more ideas. 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. Would such restrictions be a good idea?

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. > James Gavin > **···** > > From: " JamesBritt" [james@jamesbritt.com](mailto:james@jamesbritt.com)
