If the spam storm gets too heavy on haskell-cafe we can switch to moderator approval as on the main Haskell list. We have the spam assassin available at haskell.org but I've been reluctant to turn it loose on the lists. Maybe the time has come ...
Many lists use moderator approval on non-list members. Maybe spam assassin could be turned loose on just those non-member mails, and have those passing through be moderator reviewed? /Marcus
I checked and we do have spam assassin running on all haskel.org mail. The latest Nigerian spamlet somehow made it past - unfortunately nobody has been keeping the spam rules up to date, The mail haskell list is member only posting but not haskell-cafe. The member only posting is slightly painful to keep in operation so we'd prefer not to change the status of haskell-cafe unless things get worse. Quite a few people subscribe to the haskell list and then find that they aren't recognized as members because of slight differences in the From: address so we have to manually approve post fairly often.
