[Mailman-Users] How to stop these Non-sense mails?

[Steven Jones]

I would suggest;

1) Sendmail ~ has settings to filter spam like if the domain (DNS
lookup) does not exist, reject it. Other smtp/mta applications have
similar settings. Do a google, for these things, there is lots of info.
2) The single most effective anti-spam system I have seen is grey
listing, take a look at it.
3) Also setting mailman to not take posts from anyone but subscribers.

Regards

Steven

Get some good spam prevention software.  Also make sure that your MTA is

properly validating who is sending you email (check for thinks like 
reverse DNS lookups, RBL listings, SPF, DKIM, etc).
