I agree. As one who receives a lot of spam, I know the amount of spam will grow and overwhelm the content if the list is left open without antivirus and spam protection. This may cause spam filters to reject all messages from the list.

The GCC project uses proofpoint virus and spam protection, and the lists have very little spam on them. This may not be feasible for the parisc-linux list without hosting support but something is needed.

I agree. As one who receives a lot of spam, I know the amount of spam will grow and overwhelm the content if the list is left open without antivirus and spam protection. This may cause spam filters to reject all messages from the list.

Any objection to moving the list to a different service that can provide spam protection and host the list?

I've created parisc-linux on google (just to reserve the name) but want some more comments on the basic premise that we should migrate the service first.

I don't think it's *that* much work to implement some basic spam filtering. Just pipe it through spamc and drop everything above a certain spam level for the first step.

Feeding back unrecognized spam would help to make it better, though.

As far as other services would be used, why not just move to vger.kernel.org?

I second any step which reduces the spam.
Of course I would prefer keeping our own list server (with spam filtering) on parisc-linux.org, but if you think it's less work to host it on some other service I'll fine with that as well.
