[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@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@ftc.gov).
