[sane-devel] "Tollyboy Products"

[Till Kamppeter]

I have made all mailing lists on linuxprinting.org subscriber-only to 
avoid spam getting onto the lists. If this guy is not subscribed (which 
is probably the case) one could block him out by making the SANE 
subscriber-only, too. If he subscribes to lists only to get spam onto 
them, the list admin should unsubscribe him, and if the mailing list 
software allows it, blacklist his address against re-subscribing.

It is very awkward for every list user to set up filter rules personally.

In addition, scanning problems can never be solved by auto-responders, 
also they don't give any suggestion to make SANE better. Should postings 
which are obviously from auto-responders be blocked out in general? At 
least the sender domain "tollyboy.com" should be blocked.

You are explaining the exact steps how to set a filter rule which 
deletes these mails (or does it even forward them automatically to 
uce at ftc.gov?), but you don't tell which mail client you are using. My 
Mozilla has no "Filter" pull-down menu (but also a filter dialog, but 
this dialog has no auto-forwarding to uce at ftc.gov).
