But if we can work out that it won't work now, we can save ourselves some time and hassle. Specifically, these autoresponders demand that the spammers either validate an email address or use a known good 'from' address. So they will - when spamming someone harvested from debian-devel, they'll set the from address to debian-devel. Personally I think bayesian based spam filters are a godsend. They're a bit naive in places such as being unigram or bigram based, but that'll probably get fixed in version two. And already they are still amazingly good.
