Anthere,
I am not getting any of the mailing list spam you are talking about --
at least, not in noticeable amounts.
I use Microsoft Outlook, and I'm behind a corporate firewall, so my
experience may be different from yours. But I have configured my mail
client (MS Outlook) to move e-mail containg words like:
[Wikitech-l]
Into a folder market Wikipedia Developers.
My anti-spam strategy is a poor man's version of filtering.
I leave everything in "Inbox", except e-mail from known sources like:
* Business colleagues (address contains the same domain as mine)
* Friends and relatives (added to a list, one by one)
* Wikipedia (subject line contains "Wiki")
I've heard of some sophisticated techniques using "Bayesian statistics"
but I haven't tried them yet.
Is there anything I can do, as mailing list administrator, to help get
rid of spam?
