It's funny how people seem to have an opinion on this matter when it's is an operational thing, maybe they should consider being the moderator.

Yeah, I know and like SpamAssassin -- we run it on the University mail server, as you probably know -- but implementing it on a mailman-wide level will be a slightly more long-term project.
For the moment, we'll just all have to be a bit more careful about which addresses we send from. (and it's not a big problem.. maybe 2 legit mails a month compared with 75 spams)

On a list where 99% of the members are probably competant mail/mailing list administrators themselves, it's not really surprising at all... ...actually, it's kinda useful ;-) -k.
