Re:

Eau contraire, mon frere. ;)

I access the list via gmane.org's newsreader, so the lists I subscribe
to never hit _my_ mail server. I'm a little surprised that gmane.org's
server didn't catch it.

Personally, I run spamdyke and spamassassin (part of
http://qmailtoaster.com/), with excellent results (1-2 or so spams per
day in my spam folder with none in my inbox). I haven't verified to see
if this original message would have been rejected by either or not
though (I don't see the original headers in the newsreader).

Besides which, as I'm sure you know, once the spam is accepted and
posted by the list server, it's much more difficult (and more resource
intensive) to detect. This is why I think that it's important for the
list server to have the best spam controls possible.
