Wikimedia has a spam filter. It kills the worst of it. But wikien-l still has a pile THIS HIGH in the queue. So I've set the filter to zap messages with a spam score over 7. For comparison, humans seem to score no more than 2.
Just out of interest, say if I were to initiate a discussion about an article relating to Prozac, mentioned the word Prozac a few times in the mail (as well as once in the header), and gave a link to a site that I thought was the source of the hypothetical spamming that my hypothetical mail was complaining about - how would I score? What if I had a penchant for CAPS and EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!? Seriously, I'm just curious.
