Hello,
do you also get a lot of spam via the CAML-LIST?
OR is this only a fake-header, which some
spammers have created? (They may have read my emails
for that?!)?!!
Ciao,
Oliver

No, the same for me - in fact I think that since I'm on the list, that's
a little before the Christmas holydays, I received more SPAM than CAML
mails...
Happy New Year ;)

I suggest reading the list via nntp://news.gmane.org
The gmane.org mail/news gateway does spam tagging, along with the fun
archiving/search/webnews stuff.

Yes, but the severity of the current problem is new. Up until maybe two
weeks ago, I would get perhaps one spam message from Caml-list every
week or two. Now it's 2-3 dozen a day. If this keeps up, I (like many
other list members, no doubt) can try to teach SpamAssassin to filter
out spam from Caml-list, but if there are false positives they will be
diverted to my spam folder, which I only review every 2 or 3 weeks.
So I'd rather not have to do that. The fact that this is a new problem,
and is not occurring on other lists I subscribe to, suggests that the
spammers are exploiting a weakness in the way this list is administered.
I hope the list maintainers will look into it.

I agree...
BTW, Mozilla Spam Flter functions very well and it learns very fast.
A solution could be to accept mails from senders that are on the mailing
list only, another useful behaviour could be to have a reply-to adress
equal to the mailing list adress...

I just checked my spambox and most of the spam there was sent through
the caml-list. Most of it is "real" spam, and not windows viruses and
such.
The caml-list server does mark the messages with spam-oracle, although
it doesn't get as good of a hit ratio as my spam-oracle database. (I
didn't know I was getting these messages until now).
Historically, though, the caml-list has gotten more spam than any other
list I've been on. Perhaps the administrators need to reconsider only
allowing subscribers to post, or something more complicated, like
requiring feedback to post if you aren't a subscriber.

I'm getting inundated at the moment. This and a couple of other mailing
lists I'm on. I'm wondering if some windows virus just kicked into phase
2.

Spam tagging is working fine for the caml list. The problem is that
identified spam is getting sent out instead of discarded. Here's a
.procmailrc recipe that discards it:

These days, 80% of my mailbox is filled CAML-list SPAM. Could't you make
this list subscriber only, and monitor the subscribers a bit? I guess this
would really help.
Cheers,
Wolfgang

I concur. SPAM through caml-list has become a real nuisance these days.
