The fact of the matter is that a lot of effort does go into spam filtering this list, and the residual spam that you see actually represents a very low false negative rate. You wouldn't believe how much spam gets sent to the active mailing lists and newsgroups.
If your own spam filtering is so good then maybe you should just subscribe to python-list instead of using a newsgroup, then your email filters will be applied to incoming articles from the list too. Oh, I see you *are* using python-list. So how come your filters don't work for the spam that gets posted? regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden --------------- Asciimercial ------------------ Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag the Internet Many services currently offer free registration ----------- Thank You for Reading ------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
