Yes of course, the stopped mails are hoeld in the queue, which I from time to time go through and check "Discard" on all the spam - it's kind of like I'm the moderator for the autoconf list, but I do it too seldom to be an effective one. If mailman could just send copies of held messages to me (and maybe some others for vacation overlaps), and the mails I send replies on were posted to the list while the mails I don't reply to were discarded after a week, I could be willing to do something like that... : There are two things mailman cannot do (as far as I know, without patching : it): : : 1) It cannot check the body of the message. : 2) It cannot discard spam without moderator's approval. : 3) It cannot combine conditions.
