[cw-discuss] Web Forum Poll

[Jeremy Newman]

We already use Real-Time Blacklists and SpamAssassin to rid ourselves of
most spam. Even with this protection Spam still finds a way through. Our
info and sales ticket lists can attest to that fact. All a spammer needs
to do to spam this list is get by the filters (not easy but proven
possible), and set the From as one of the list Subscribers. Since this
is a low volume list, it is not a target for Spam. I see a web forum as
a larger target. The list of possible spoofed email froms is as large as
our entire customer database.
