Hi,

we get a significant amount of SPAM on the Guile
mailing lists, especially bug-guile.  Some subscribers
have complained about this.

What can we do about SPAM?

Currently, I filter messages a bit using Mailman, but I
have to manually discard any SPAM.  I didn't do so for
a couple of days, and now I have over 200 pending Admin
requests, which are nearly impossible to handle with
the HTML forms interface.  I can do this once, but I
don't want to do it regularily.

I know nothing about how people normally filter SPAM; I
have told our subcribers that they should filter the
SPAM locally, if they are bothered.  Is that a good
suggestion?  What are GNU's spam filtering policies?

Thanks!
