Actually, I have more problems with many followups to spam on the list

list?
I guess I feel like the list maintainer should be taking steps to eliminate
spam before it even gets to the recipient. Reasons:
First, in terms of efficiency, it's much better to make one change to the
list than for every member of the list to update their procmail.
Second, in terms of bandwidth, it's more efficient to stop spam at the
closest point to the source, namely the list.
Finally, it's just good form. If I were running a list, I sure wouldn't
want to be a spam hub. The solution is easy enough to implement, and there
are certainly enough volunteers.
Anyway, I'm done ranting. I'll probably wind up forwarding bcc's from this
list to /dev/null too, but I don't have to like it. ;-)
