timespan. this e.mail list is important for me. is there anything I
can do… I guess I will be using the ruby-forum.com

Any help/pointer …

You personally can’t prevent spam from being sent to the list but you
can prevent (most) spam from clogging up your inbox.

Look for an email client with a spam filter that learns. There are
lots out there. Bayesian mathematics is your friend.

I’m using GMail which has pretty decent spam filtering and I’ve gotten
about 6 e-mails this morning…is there nothing the list can do? Or
are they harvesting e-mails from the list and sending them direct with
the [Rails] prefix?

Except yours would be killed too of course :wink:
