[Project_owners] I'd like more details on how to handle SPAM

[Biju G C]

I found the methods used by http://gmane.org/ are good.

There my Id 
 
  "Biju G C" <bijumaillist at yahoo.com> 

is encripted and written as 

 Biju G C <bijumaillist=/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w <at> public.gmane.org>

So U can reach me by emailing to

  bijumaillist=/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org

It will first check ur emailid by sending a mail to you asking for reply.

And it wont reveal my id bijumaillist at yahoo.com to you
But I will get the senders id. So if i wish, 
I can communicate back to the sender, and reveal my id, 
for further communication.


(If u wish, you may try it with my encrypted id)


Only issue, it will ask only once for a sender.
I wish it should ask a conformation for every mail send to an encrypted id.


U can also see how other ids are encrypted by viewing 

nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.fsf.india.fsf-friends

At website they even hide the encrypted email ids see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.kolkata/574/

Another things we should do for newslist is 
 * strip HTML mail and make it Text only
 * try spam traps like the one at (see the email signature)
   http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01516.html
   Id from which email goes to  aaaspam at sourceware.org will be 
   considered as a spamer.

Cheers
Biju
