FWIW, you can set up the listserv so that it simply
discards stuff from
unsubscribed posters. This would fix LAA as well and as such it seems to me
like a reasonable compromise since spammers in most cases are not subscribed
to the list and if a poster really wants to post on a particular list they
might as well subscribe to it.
I am sure there may be some who would disagree with this kind of a policy
and thus I think it is ultimately up to you to decide what you deem best
solution/compromise.
Yes I did think about this. The best solution would be a slight
modification to the listserv to be able to filter things out based on
the subject line. Most people posting on the list add an [ANN] header
to their mail, which is a good practice and could lead to
auto-acceptation of there mail. spamassassin adds a *** JUNK MAIL ***
header which could lead to an auto-reject. The rest could be subject
to moderation with the possibility to feed new emails to spamassassin
to make it's filtering more accurate.
I would be surprised if no one ever thought about that... It's about
the same work flow as in a email client running some smart spam filter
(Thunderbird for instance).
