There is no need to do any more antispam measures once tmda is implemented. I have been using tmda for almost a year now, and received not a single spam. Spammers never confirm their email, so they will never be whitelisted. Presently, html parts are cut out, and if the whole message is cut out, then the message bounces. > a mail with attachment needs confirmation (-> anti virus) > No, that would be very inconvenient. Instead, I will be just blocking certain file extensions, and hope for the best. I am already blocking .exe and .scr. But with tmda, very few virus should make it through (basically coming from subscribers' addresses). I was going to try out moderation as well, but I am not sure why people would do it. What would be the advantage over using tmda, which automates moderation, basically? I have been rather busy (my son's school is over), but I will nevertheless set up a moderated list with John and Lars moderators. I do not know exactly when, though. I also had to read up on laws regarding virus prevention. In fact, an ISP is responsible for users' getting viruses only if they promise virus prevention. So I will never officially promise antivirus measures here. Mate
