I disagree very strongly about this. Why should we go through a lot of
trouble? Just configure procmail/sendmail to drop everything from
cyberpromo and other known spammers, have it automatically send a
compliant to their respective isp:s, etc.

We for one _will_ maintain a pure mail->news gateway, although we may or
may not restrict access the the linux.* hierarcy.
