While not totally practical for some of you, and possibly against best interest of security, Gmail has an excellent spam filter. I've been using Google Apps for several years and have posted my email address in plaintext, and rarely if ever have I gotten spam.<br>

<pre>Well,
When this board didn't strip the "from" information, I use to get
30-50 spam mails (not from XCSSA) per message posted.

The fix for this is to turn on the private_roster, obscure_addresses,
and optionally archive_private options for the list in Mailman. <br>
<br>
This will restrict viewing of list member addresses to other list
members. <br>
I've run large mailing lists for 15 years (I wrote part of Mailman),
and haven't had any spam problems on lists so configured. <br>
<br>
(And yes the lack of From id is annoying, amongst other things, I can't
sort messages in my mail client by author. This is irritating whence I
am looking for something someone posted. ) <br>

<pre>Yes... Tweeks, I've been meaning to ask you... why do you have this
list set up such that the headers strip off the "From" information?
Is the goal that we can all post anonymously?
