Anthere,

I am not getting any of the mailing list spam you are talking about -- at least, not in noticeable amounts.

I use Microsoft Outlook, and I'm behind a corporate firewall, so my experience may be different from yours. But I have configured my mail client (MS Outlook) to move e-mail containg words like:

[Wikitech-l]

Into a folder market Wikipedia Developers.

My anti-spam strategy is a poor man's version of filtering.

I leave everything in "Inbox", except e-mail from known sources like:

* Business colleagues (address contains the same domain as mine) * Friends and relatives (added to a list, one by one) * Wikipedia (subject line contains "Wiki")

I've heard of some sophisticated techniques using "Bayesian statistics" but I haven't tried them yet.

Is there anything I can do, as mailing list administrator, to help get rid of spam?
