After a discussion on irc the idea of a 15K limit and no html email was arrived it. This would block almost all spam that comes to this list and would not interfere with its normal functioning since the 15K cap is about 5K over most of the largest pure text messages which seem be hit a cap of about 10K without having html in them.
Awww! But then I don't get to use SpamCop every second day! (o8
Seriously, I'm all in favour of doing anything to stop SPAM in this list... however, be aware that we FREQUENTLY get newbies posting HTML encoded mail. The most irritating part about that, imho, is that they normally DON'T KNOW they're doing it. Oh, all the wasted bandwidth! (o8
So an autoreply indicating: 1: they sent html 2: html is not allowed 3: instructions for the common miscreant mailreaders on how to turn OFF html Done. That should solve that issue. :) Bill Anderson
