Yes, procmail does wonders.

Mailing lists are suppose to be for open discussion. Flame wars are part of an
open discussion (yes, on the fringe). I do not want to start moderating the
list anymore then it already is. Policies stifle mailing lists.

If flame-wars are not your think, setup procmail to ship them to /dev/null.

This is my opinion as a reader, as a list administrator I'll do what the list
members wish to have happen.

But do you really want someone reading each post before releasing it to the
list for readership?
