Messages 15, 25, 63, 68 and 72 for December 2007 are undoubtedly spam.
Is there any way we can tighten up our anti-spam filters?

It seels that messages from webmaster@ and fedora-websites-list@ get through without moderation.
List admins - any ideas about disabling this or specifically blocking those from addresses?
Thanks, Ricky

Unfortunately from the @redhat.com addresses there's little we can do. However for the webmaster@fedoraproject address we can implement better spam tagging on our smtp server. Just going to take someone to set it up.

I think we should have some control over filtering at the mailman level. Perhaps we can set header_filter_rules to hold messages with headers matching: ^From:.*webmaster@fedoraproject.org.* ^From:.*fedora-websites-list@redhat.com.* (or substitute some better-thought out regexes there).
Thanks, Ricky

Spam Filter Rule has been added per Ricky's suggestion. Regards,

Since the spam filter rule isn't working as my test shows, I'd like to propose a new approach. How about we use askfedora@fp.o approach as we use in fedora news project?
This is how we setup currently: 1. A user send email to askfedora@fp.o 2. The email is forwarded to fedora-news-list-owner@redhat.com 3. An auto-reply will be sent to the user using "Auto-response text to send to -owner emails"
In this case, no moderation will be required since the email will be sent to list-owners who will decide whether it should be answered and posted in the list for archive.
One more thing, since Ricky is the primary person who's been answering webmaster@fp.o emails, I'd like to promote him to list-owners. :)
