I hadn't discovered that Lars had stopped using the ding@ifi.uio.no list :-) It was still active, but forwarded to ding@gnus.org. > I can close the list to nonmembers rather trivially, but that gets > in the way of folks who post from multiple addresses (like Lars) > which I can cope with although it takes more of my time. Yes. I need to manually add an address alias and resend messages about once a week on my Crossfire list. It's some work, but I catch approx. 1-2 spams a day this way. In some ways it would be worse on my low volume Bel Canto list, since without such a filter there'd be more spam than content... > Is it worth the trouble to filter out the staggeringly huge amount > of one spam every few months that gets by my mountain of filters > and the filters at Gnus.org?

Evidently, the mailing list currently isn't widely listed (Altavista found 20 references to ding@gnus.org, 66 to ding@ifi.uio.no and 780 to crossfire@ifi.uio.no), but my guess is that those numbers will change. > I do wonder, though, if spam coming through ifi.uio.no is treated > any differently then spam coming directly to gnus.org?
