We apparently have a spam bot subscribed to the list and replying
*directly* to anyone who posts on the list.

The E-mails, generally use the name Alyssa or a Katie in the mail and
have images attached. They come from a variety of addresses that so
far don't appear subscribed to the list. However spammers don't
typically subscribe to lists at the addresses they send from or appear
to send from.

This is just a notice that we are working on it and doing what we can.

The e-mail address I use for this mailing list is
asterisk_list@earthshod.co.uk ; so I used the following procmail recipe. This
filters out anything being sent to that address *without* a Received: header
mentioning lists.digium.com:

:0
* ^To.*asterisk_list
* !^Received.*lists.digium.com
asterisk_unwanted

(when I am satisfied that it does not lose anything legitimate, I probably will
change the last line to /dev/null .)

list, change address to asterisk1list at earthshod dot co dot uk .

What if I wanted to reply to one of your messages off-list?

My message would end up in asterisk_unwanted.

Or even worse.

My message would end up in asterisk_unwanted.

And it did -- which is why I have added a special note in my .signature file
(and why I didn't dump rejected messages straight into /dev/null/ from the
beginning; the first rule of procmail seems to be, you probably missed
something). A spammer probably isn't going to go to that sort of trouble.

But if you can think of anything else I can pick up on that will improve the
reliability of identifying legitimate off-list mail, I'm open to suggestions.
