Very annoying spam posts

Thomas Bonte
Since the past week, our forum at http://n2.nabble.com/MuseScore-Developer-f685061.html is getting 3 spam messages daily. The spam is typical image spam, no text. 3 messages a day is not that much but after a while, banning the user + removing the spam starts to be very annoying.

Since these spam messages have actually a [SPAM] tag in the subject, I wonder whether Nabble could block them anyway instead of just tagging them. So far, nothing has been wrongly tagged.

I hope you can help us out!

Kind regards
Thomas

An example of a typical spam post: http://n2.nabble.com/-SPAM--Make-her-grotto-wet-of-pleasure-tp1469402p1469402.html
The frequency of the spam is going up now. We're at 1 per hour now.

Hi Thomas,

The SPAM you have received comes from the mailing list and not from Nabble. Nabble only archives those emails. Since there is a [SPAM] prefix in the subject, I assume that your mailing list software is already configured to detect them. You might have an option somewhere that allows you to delete or block those emails instead of sending them to the subscribers. Please look for this option if you are the mailing list owner.
