I just finished installing SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and Amavisd-new on
lists.mozilla.org. Mailman was already doing a pretty good job of
stopping the spam, but at the expense of manual filtering by the
moderators to clear out the queues. So this change should mostly
affect list moderators, who now should have less manual filtering to
do.

If anyone discovers any issues with it, please file a bug in Bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/) in the mozilla.org product, Server
Operations component.

You need to specify a reply-to for mailing list users. :-P

Perhaps the server could automatically add the equivalent reply-to to
messages with a followup-to or vice-versa.

Does the spam filter involve any training? I've been discarding a heck
of a lot of list spam lately, all from different addresses on different
domains; so manual filtering is useless.
