Is it possible to install spamasassin for the mailing list? that should

the trouble is that, we still need to manually look at the spam and figure
out if the spammer needs to be removed from the list, because it is not
perfect. secondly, spamassassin will not be good at finding out the spamming
which we are trying to combat - i.e. spamming by an individual to one small
list using a perfectly legal website as some sort of a "mail client". it is
better at detecting spam ads and arbitrary dos program attachments kind of
spam. we can teach it though (spamassassin supports learning) - and i think
we may not be that sure that spamassassin has learned enough, before we can
entrust it with something drastic like automated removal of subscribers. so,
as of now, manual blocking seems to be the only resort. further, imo, this
is not that huge a group, and the spam not that frequent, to warrant this
step.
it moves on...
