[Magic-dev] This list is becoming a major source for viruses and worms.

[Rajit Manohar]

Hi,

I did a couple of things yesterday to fix the virus/spam problem:

* All magic email traffic is now fed through a spam filter (spamassassin).

* The list is now moderated.  This might cause email to be delayed a
bit but it makes it possible to discard things like virus-triggered
emails. As this is not a high traffic list, I presume this will not
be a problem. Otherwise we can switch it back (at the expense of more
spam).

This should address the problems we've been having.

Also, the list is now managed by mailman.
