Have you ever taken a look at Spam Bouncer?  It's a procmail script, that in
my opinion, handles spam very well.  Very few (and I usually get a high
volume of spam) makes it's way into my INBOX.

No. This is *the* published address for help with freebsd. We can't
require subscription to it.

I suspect the people operating the mail<->newsgroup gateway would have
to be talked into killing the newsgroup. Just killing the reflection
will only create confusion.

Sorting out the archives would be a great idea. If they were working
reasonably, you would have been able to find out that your first
question has been asked and answered several times :-).

Since we're back on the spam topic, I've just installed tmda (it's in
the ports tree), as it looks like the first reasonable spam filtering
system I've seen. Not clear how well it would work with lists, though.
