That would save me a good part of my daily spam ammount. This will only be a intermediate solution to avoid spam: As soon as spammers change from pear-cvs to pear-(dev|core|qa), the same problem exists again. Generally, avoiding spam by making mailing lists read-only is the wrong way to go: Instead one should take care that proper filtering solutions are in place. (I e.g. do not see any spam on the CVS list, because my combination of SpamAssassin and Bogofilter catches everything before it reaches my inbox.) -- - Martin Martin Jansen http://martinjansen.com/
