This mechanism should be implemented for *all* mailing lists that are located on lists.php.net. pear-webmaster@lists.php.net gets spammed, because the address pear-webmaster@php.net is an alias for it and @php.net domains are not using the whitelist mechanism. > I'm currently running SpamAssassin for spam filtering + the integrated > filters of Mozilla Thunderbird.

For that, I would require minimaly to have this "mail adress > verification" for pear-cvs, too. Then Thunderbird's junk filter should probably be considered bogus. I think we should stop this discussion here, since spam avoidance is no the topic of the developers list. If you would like to discuss this problem further, let us do so in private mail. -- - Martin Martin Jansen http://martinjansen.com/
