some remove "super Star" aka candyshop999 at gmail.com

[Fred Skrotzki]

Well this moron used the same e-mail address across multiple days so why
not at least ban the e-mail address.  Yea I know they will probably just
get another but at least it will stop this one from dumping another 4-6
messages tomarrow.

Another trick is to moderate the first one or two postings only so that
you can tell if a user is real or not.  I use this on several lists that
used to have this problem and it has stopped it.  Not as high volume as
this list but they learn quickly and move on.

The spammer subscribed, sent the spam, then unsubscribed.  The spam
itself passed SpamAssassin and IronPort as clean.  The spammers are
getting trickier.

Aside from moderating subscriptions (which I'm not excited to do), I
don't have an answer.  I started a thread on the mailman-users list,
where it was suggested that all we could do was moderate subscriptions.
