It's easy to do minor variations on this. The first thing that
comes to my mind is to require a specific email address (such
as "has-mime@dragonflybsd.org") in the BCC field. That way, the
magic word won't even show up in any archives of the mailing
list.
The way that I would imagine it to work is that all MIME-encoded
mail which arrives directly to the mailing list would be thrown
away, but mail which arrives at has-mime@dragonflybsd.org would
then be inserted into whatever mailing list it referenced in the
"To:" or "CC:" fields. (if no legit mailing list was referenced,
the message would be thrown away -- so spam sent to that magic
address would not end up on any mailing list).
Hmm. This seemed so simple when I started to write it, but is
getting a little more complicated as I think about it...
