RE: filtering of mailing lists and NATs

Can someone remind me what "spamming" exactly is?
From what I see in my inbox I must assume it is
something like boring 1000s of ietf subscribers with 
tens of emails on "filtering of mailing lists".
Am I right?

I do this  for the mailing list of  the MPLS working group, 
so  I'm aware of
what a nuisance it is.  But as far as mailing list 
management goes, it's not
nearly as big a nuisance as trying to figure out which of 
the error messages
to owner-mpls  are bogus  and which  are real.  (The  
mailing list  has 3000
members and each message to it results in 100 error messages.)

mailman seems to have an automated way to put subscribers whose email 
bounces out of the list, but I must confess I prefer to look at the 
errors and decide case per case. Luckily, my lists have at 
most 400 users.

ciao, .mau.
