[SAC] Mailman spam filtering?

[Markus Neteler]

On my system (the one where the GRASS Wiki is still running) I am using
120sec of greylisting which is much less than the default. Certainly I cannot
know how much good mails I miss but I never got a complaint (a couple of
different personal email addresses a known to reach me). Certainly
there is no perfect system to combat spam.
