Subject: [gentoo-dev] Spam (was Re: Hey SEXY)
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 02:12:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020927001231.EB7AFA30B0@mbox1.su.se> (raw)

I don't like the idea of closing this list. If you close it you will still 
have problems with spam in the open lists; user, newbie etc. A better way of 
doing things would be to filter out the spam completley on all the lists. 

There was an interesting thread about Bayesian spam filtering on slashdot
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/09/17/1746248&mode=thread&tid=111
a while ago discussing Paul Grahams essay A Plan for Spam
http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html 

The  statistical approach described there would have filtered out all spam I 
have seen on this list so far. (How many non spam email contain the words 
'dear' and 'madam' ?) 

You might wan't to check out ESR's implementation

Keep up the good work
