Well, actually, I already use both SpamAssassin and dspam. Not much
gets through (and of the two, dspam catches far more than SpamAssassin
does).
My point was that the FVWM list is probably the second lowest traffic
level of all the lists I'm subscribed to, and accounts for maybe 1% of
my mailing-list email, but there's more spam on the fvwm list than on
all my other mailing lists put together. Seems like fvwm gets spammed
every few days. The last time I got spam from any of my other lists was
months ago.
There are fairly simple means to secure a mailing list against drive-by
spamming. Doesn't the fvwm list use them?
