The leaf-lists have had member-only posting for as long as I
can
remember (which is why we don't see any Spam on the lists -
or do you?).
The Spam I was referring to is the stuff that gets forwarded
to me
because I'm the list admin (posts by non-members, bounces,
posts that
were held due to failing the content-check and so on).

The filters are to catch the more unusual stuff - Spam, that
is posted
to some "Mailinglist to Webpage/Newsgroup" portal,
or the even more
unusual case of Spam with a "From" that happens to
be a subscribed user
(this is more likely to happen with Viruses/Worms, since
they tend to
use From-addresses found in the address books of their
victims).

So, the content filter is just an additional check, not the
only one.

Yes, it went through, funny that pgp signatures would make
it, but then
they are not mime encoded. Did anyone ever try pgp-mime?

cheers
