My list is Send= Public (we've chosen that deliberately). That means we have to accept that we get a fair deal of spam messages, and our filter list is quite impressive by now :-) But given that listserv boasts of having a spam filter, how is it possible that a sender like [log in to unmask] can get through. I mean, there is no .bft domain. Other examples of faked top domains that have appeared on the list are .MOC, .HJ, .JFDIJ. Wouldn't it be possible to install a filter that would detect non-existing top-level domains and trash those messages before they reach the list? It would help the listowners a lot. A more efficient solution would probably be to filter the true sender of the post, i.e. the originator's ip, but I guess that has to be done on the server level?
