Anyone got any information good ways to set up filters for this list, setting up a filter on the from address is giving me a huge list of addresses to block and I am constantly having to add addresses to it. There has to be a more effiecent way of doing it.
Filtering the From: line won't work- the list keeps getting added to new "macketing lists" and web sites. Filtering cypherpunks mail that originates at toad.com gets a lot of the spam. But, after that was identified as a way to avoid the spam, the other CDRs started getting added to the spam lists. Hmm. So filtering it out only does so much; and there are still non-spam posts that are sent through toad. I've set up a CDR which filters out posts from non-subscribers to any CDR. Posts from non-subscribers (like you) are forwarded to the list if they're not spam. % echo "info cypherpunks" | mail majordomo@lne.com
This is the only list I am subscribed to that i get spammed on.
You're fortunate! A third option is to run a program that recognizes spam contents. I've written one: www.lne.com/ericm/spammaster. -- Eric Murray Consulting Security Architect SecureDesign LLC http://www.securedesignllc.com PGP keyid:E03F65E5
