[ILUG] Spam and more spam

[Colm Buckley]

I am willing to consider options for assisting with de-spamming the 
ILUG list.

Human moderation is an option, but it would probably destroy the 
'real-time' nature which this list has come to enjoy.  The volume of 
mail to the list is *enormous* - for every message which is currently 
posted, about 5-10 are rejected as spam or viruses.  It is difficult 
for even a large team of moderators to respond to such a volume in 
short intervals.  In addition, I have always been uncomfortable with 
the notion of human moderation of this list, on the grounds that even 
the most objective individuals can be biased, and make decisions which 
might not be acceptable.

I also don't really want to consider complicated options which involve 
a large or fragile software infrastructure.

Suggestions?
