Spam and spamprevention from mailinglists
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I always get mails a few minutes after I post to the list - By chance or intention I don't know? Are there possibilities to back-track messages delivered to clients in such cases or do I have to live with the consequences as I subscribe to a list? Is there a possibility to authorize the access to http-web-archive of this mailinglist like Redmond (TM) on MSN with this "can you read the letters in the image" so no spiders can gather information on the list?

I personally have multiple instances of spamassassin running. One is running on my own server which is the main one for mewes.tv. That one is moving 95% of valid Spam out of the way for me. The other one is running here on my client which does another 1-2%. The rest is manual deletion. At the moment I am subscribed to 25 different mailinglists and the amount of Spam I receive is maybe 10 a month. bis dahin/kind regards Martin Mewes -- Welche Mailingliste zu welchem Linux? suse-linux@suse.com -> SuSE Linux debian-user-german@lists.debian.org -> Debian GNU/Linux linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org -> Linux Kernel

I guess these are auto-reply messages like "I'm on vacation till ...". The only thing you can do with them is forward them to the list-owner (with full headers!) and ask for unsubscribing the sender. (If the auto-reply sender adress is autoreply@... or noreply@..., it can become difficult ;-)

Look at the headers. In some cases you can, in some cases it's really difficult. If you don't know how to read the headers, just ask.

This is something that can only be done by SUSE. But IMHO, it's not (mostly) the web archive causing spam. My theory is that some spammers are subscribed here and get the mail adresses directly. To explain my theory: My spam mostly arrives at the adress I use for suse-security. The adress used for suse-linux, suse-laptop and suse-programming has much less spam. If spammers would search the web archive for adresses, there shouldn't be such a difference. Regards, Christian Boltz --
