It always seems like everyone has so much spam they are always willing
to share.  :-)

That is the mailing list manager robot on my site that receives
moderator messages from mailman.  It processes those messages through
spamassassin and if the message is strongly spam then it sends back to
mailman a discard command for that spam message.  Since most spam is
typically very strongly spam this covers most of the drudgery that
previously needed to be handled manually.  What is left after removing
the spam are the valid messages.
