Just this morning I've gotten 3 or 4 pieces of spam on the CentOS mailing list.
Tell us how we should reject that in advance and we will. Yes, the "user" was subscribed.
We have Mailman configured to check with spamassassin, sending messages with sufficiently high scores to the moderator(s) for approval and automatically discarding anything with a score > 20. Thus anything with scores between our required_score of 5 and 20 is held for moderation.
We checked the score on one of the messages and it was less than 1 (although of course that depends on spamassassin config ...)
While this isn't perfect, fewer than 1 spam per month has made it through to any of the lists we host in the last year (at least one of which I approved accidentally :-).
We are happy if you have specialist knowledge in this area for you to help us configure our mailman to act likewise.
Perhaps we could take this off list.
