I am normally pretty quiet about spam as making a lot of noise about it does little to solve the problem. I know jmb works hard to keep the noise down. I thought of a way that we can help him, if it is feasible. Can majordomo be configured to respond to a new command? The new command would be "spamthread". Anyone who is a subscriber could issue it by sending a reply to Majordomo. Majordomo would read the command in the body and then look at the subject header. Majordomo would shunt all spamthread messages with the offending subject to /dev/null or perhaps a queue for evaluation, banishment, or nuclear assault. The idea is that maybe the first person who catches one of these threads that hits every single list can limit the damage by issuing a spamthread command. If a feature like this were available I would use it. I would love to tell the postmaster about every spam that comes along but I just know that he probably gets as much mail about spam as he does spam. My $.02.
