Subscribers may have spam filtering, but I wouldn't rely on it totally -- for one thing, spam should be kept out of any dalnet-src archives.. I prefer to be able to whitelist mailing list messages. If users of services like 'yahoo' actually got bad messages, and chose 'report spam', it could hurt dal.net's reputation in those services (as dal.net mail servers relayed the spam)
I will be keeping a close eye on it. All mail coming into the lists gets passed over with SpamAssassin and a few other utilities. All posts from non-members get moderated. Anything tagged as spam by the filtering utilities gets moderated. The list has been unmoderated for the past couple days. If it becomes problematic, we'll re-adjust. -- Joe, DALnet postmaster extraordinaire
