I think we should have some filtrer for the mailing lists against spams and virus.
How come I never see spam or viruses here?
Is it because friendly gmane folk manually delete them from the server? If that is so, I can only recommend strongly everyone use gmane's NNTP interface too! :) If, however, gmane have automated spam filtering mechanisms installed, it means legitimate messages may sometimes not show up. Worrying...
Spams and virus are blocked because the sender's address is not subscribed to the list. There are dozens like this daily. And list admins have to clean to mess every now and then. It's becoming a unnecessary burden when virus and spams could just have been rejected because the address used is non valid.
