welcome to the modern internet.

your options are limited. i was using taboo headers & bodies a lot, but the
stuff changes and shifts on you, and continues to leak through. i also have
my MTA set up to use the RBL (a useful tool, not majordomo related.) this
isn't/wasn't enough either. i'm now using restrict post for the two most
heavily affected lists, which is administratively annoying, but is also
keeping the spam off the lists.

in the interests of the long view, i have also asked my list members to
review the materials at http://www.cauce.org/, develop a grasp of current
legislative issues, then write their congressmen.
