Im actually looking into putting a spamassasin front end for listserv lists as well. From experience with spamassasin elsewhere id say set listserv request adrs with very high scores. Then do the lists themselves at a lower level perhaps different for each list depending on their public/private status, load, etc.. So in short do not do a site wide score but a per user score. WRTO what to do with the spam-marked message; id suggest that you DO NOT return to sender but just /dev/null. A return to a forged adr will; 1-have the real user fuming 2-create a loop 3-create additional error messages for your box to deal with. You might initially want to dump all into another directory for a short while to analyze whats getting caught and tune your scores against false positives then /dev/null it. Or you might use a service that asks for the sender to confirm their email authenticity by clicking on a link and adding them to your whitelist. Since the message specifically asks the user to click a link (http) there is no valid (or another /dev/null) return email adr catching any loops or error messages. I ran across this service some time ago but misplaced the link so if someone else knows what im talking about PLEASE send links on company/applications that does this.
