There's no such user mqmsz. Someone faked the From address and his/her ranking in spam databases is not (yet) high enough to be high probability spam.

There's always going to be a compromise between being more open to encourage discussion of cosmology by younger students who don't yet know about self-organising mailing lists (and older faculty who don't want to know ;) and being closed to spammers (or, potentially, people who could become disruptive, flaming etc.).

Please read this email again - the cosmo-torun list was too closed for one of our students and too open for spammers, so there's no simple, naive solution: http://cosmo.torun.pl/pipermail/cosmo-torun/2006-June/000364.html

Remember that the astri lists are very tightly controlled - i'm not sure it's in anyone's interests to make the lists that tightly controlled just because of a couple of spams.

Anyway, the person/people who spammed in the last few days has a systematic behaviour pattern in his/her/their emails, so i've added a spamassassin filter rule (which i can send to anyone interested offlist - who knows, the spammers *might* read this email list).
