[SAC] Mailman spam filtering?

[Wolf Bergenheim]

I've had luck with spamassassin, but I suspect that Marcus is soon going
to drown in Spam unless we do something about it. I think it would be
prudent to set up either greylisting or bogofilter now, especially if we
are going to be hosting even more projects and their lists. People
really don't like spam. Though I think it is quite tasty when cooked
with macaroni while camping ;)
