Dear Corrin,

In fact, we started already moderating the clean-list.

We have experience with spam-assassin. We experienced that a few messages (indeed, maybe only 0,5 %) are incorrectly
considered to be spam. For personal use this may be fine but for a mailing list we think it is better to moderate it ourselves.
Considering the amount of traffic this should not take too much of our time.

Of course we will welcome any Clean programs that will do the job for us.
It would be great to have such a Clean program.

Cheers,

Marko van Eekelen.
