R mailing lists: move from majordomo to [procmail+mailman]
We have locally collected good experience the last few weeks using procmail-spam filtering, inclduing spamassassin to the procmail filters. The last two spams that went past the majordomo filters (the "traditional ones I've been using) through to R-devel both were not delivered to me, be but caught by the filters. I have now collected a bit more of a week experience using the new scheme also for R-core (and ESS-core) and few other larger lists but with *much* lower volume successfully. Also, all the R-SIG-* and the bioconductor lists are handled by the new scheme. This also entails that their web interface (including archives) can now be advertized as much as you want, since I hope the new spam protection will suffice (and be tweaked to become better, too). Have a look at the Web interface at http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ As indicated a few days ago, I want to convert all the remaining R lists ASAP -- but carefully. I plan to do R-devel quite a bit before R-help (and R-announce), partly because the list is quite a bit smaller (and has no "gateway" as the R-announce -> R-help one). I'll send another e-mail here, before the (visible) action really start.
