If you run a mailing list server, or want to run a mailing list server, you should read this.
( Mailman's problems with backscatter. )
Here's the good news. It had been a long time since I evaluated MLMs, and I was happily surprised. Not only are there a lot more choices on the market, but every free MLM that is currently supported deals with these problems better than Mailman.
In fact, the following two products already provide the kind of rules-based logic that Mailman developers "think might be possible in 3.0". If you're running a Mailman installation today, I highly encourage you to migrate to one of the following products (both freeware)
Dada Mail: http://mojo.skazat.com/
Sympa: http://www.sympa.org/
Sympa production can be configured properly, but the version in SVN appears to have much better defaults and logic. They are active and aware of the issues involved here. http://www.sympa.org/dev-manual/antispam
