What is this moderation of which you speak? I'm one of the Python postmasters (I maintain the SpamBayes setup) and am aware of a multi-part tool chain (black hole lists, SpamBayes, greylisting, etc), but not of human moderation on a grand scale, just of the relatively few posts which are held for the admins/moderators by SpamBayes. My definition of "moderation" is that a human vets every post. That's certainly not the case for python-list@python.org. Posts gated from comp.lang.python to the mailing list only get passed through SpamBayes. All other elements of the tool chain occur ahead of the gateway. If we are using two different definitions of "moderation" I think it is important to be clear what we mean. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
