And I was just about to confirm my password ;)
Seriously though, if the list get more spam, I'll disable posting for non-memebers. I allwoed this because _a lot_ of people tend to not post from the email they're subscribed with, and each time they do so, I have to go through the admin interface to (dis)approve the letter.

Before you mentioned it, I hadn't even noticed it. It was blocked off by my spam filter with a astronomical score of 108.1! (although this is mostly because of one rule (SARE_FORGED_PAYPAL) with a score of 104 ;))

Unfortunately, one cannot rely on Mail.app's Junk filter for this, since other rules (such as my 'move [TxMt] to the Lists -> TextMate folder), when present, seem to disable the junk filter :-/. Hmm... and my SpamAssassin scored it in the negative anyways.. I guess it doesn't take that forged paypal thing into account.

I have the SpamAssassin custom rules FreeBSD port installed. And almost no spam comes through...but then again, I don't get that much spam, score for this month is about 40 or so.

Just as another datapoint: I get huge amounts of spam; my mail provider uses SpamAssassin, and I never saw this particular one either.

Hey, I was just excited I could read it! I was feeling left out with all the German spam.

I like how the newest nightly builds of Mozilla Thunderbird catch these as 'scam'-mails. It shows it's a 'scam' instead of a spam-mail, and warns you when you click a link in it. Very neat.

Especially when a luser quote the entire b...y mail and send it again to the mailing list, yes, I hate that.
Sheeesh.

Yes, don't we all hate top-posting.. or whatever it's called; where people write 2 lines and quote an entire mail. Only slightly better than when the 2 lines are _below_ the entire mail. I really hate that :-p.
