Hi :)
All true

However if something reaches this list it has already been rejected.  We just try to rescue the 
ones that were valid and sent here by mistake.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

this isnt replying to the spammer this is replying to the server telling it
to reject the message.

thanks to google this saved this address automatically

this is what i am replying to discuss+reject-2521220c3d6c2f84 <
discuss+reject-2521220c3d6c2f84@documentfoundation.org> which tells mlmmj
to reject the email and not post it to the list.

        There's a problem with replying to a spammer; in that way you're
merely acknowledging that the e-address is valid.

        To my way of thinking, that's a bad thing to do; isn't it better to
ignore & hope the spammer will give up.

        Also, these spammers tend to use slightly different e-addresses in
order to fool the system, so rejecting one will not reject the next ones

Isn't that the same thing as emailing back saying reject?

Hi :)
I get the impression that if we do nothing then the message gets
blocked.
So if you don't like a message or think it's spam then it's fine to
leave
it.

We are mainly trying to catch the ones that should not have been blocked
in order to unblock them.
Regard from
Tom :)

Hi Jonathan,

florian any chance you can black list this domain as this is the 3rd
email
today from the same company in the span of a few hrs to the mirrors
list i
have rejected them all but still its very annoying that they are
still
pushing to spam the list.

let's not block individual domains. Usually, one blocks the sending
server's IP, not the sender domain.

Plus, moderation is all about spam filtering. Manually maintaining
filter lists is a tedious tasks I really would like to avoid, because
you have to regularly verify those lists (who can assure that the IP
has
not changed the owner to a legitimate sender in the meantime?).

We do extensive spam filtering already with greylisting, blacklists,
SpamAssassin the the like. The spam that gets through is the tasks
moderators have to deal with.
