Wesley and Deirdre, the tutor list admins (and the Mailman mailing-list
software) have been quietly intercepting spam for us --- for the most
part, it doesn't reach the list. (Thank you guys!)
Still, there's been widespread spamming of Python lists for quite a while
now, and spam does trickle in occasionally. It is a bit sad that someone
would spam an educational forum.
Mailman is written in Python, and for someone motivated enough, perhaps
someone could look at Mailman:
http://www.list.org/
and see if any improvements could be made toward the spam filter; it might
make a good summer project to see how the filter works. It would
certainly help lots of people.
