Well, how about compressing them, or putting them online and posting a link? > Regarding filtering spam discussion list messages using anti-spam > software, that's generally not a good idea since the messages can > legitimately include spam samples for meta-discussion about them. > So if you're applying SpamAssassin or other anti-spam sofware to > these messages, don't. :-) The same applies to anti-virus lists, and while I don't care about viruses (yet) (since I run SELinux systems), I would never advocate that people should not virus-filter such traffic. The same goes for this list. After all, sooner or later, the spam volume here will increase. Thus, by all means, spam filter. I think that posters with spam samples should think twice (well, most list posters should think twice) and post the stuff online. One idea would be to have a pastebin on the spamassassin web page and encourage its use in the list guidelines... -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] invalid/expired pgp subkeys? use subkeys.pgp.net as keyserver! spamtraps: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "they redundantly repeated themselves over and over, incessantly without end and ad infinitum" -- ibid
