This is the first time I've ever seen someone send an e-card to a
mailing list...

Why can't the list owners apply spamassassin to the list's *incoming*
mail stream so we don't ever see this stuff? Nearly every one of the
lists hosted on vger.kernel.org get spammed on a regular basis because
there is no spam filtering before the messages get passed to majordomo.

Do you actually think there is no spam filtering on the vger lists? Do
you have any idea what this list would look like if there were really no
spam filtering?

Perhaps because way too big a share of diffs do get blocked
by people's SAs out there... CHICKENPOX indeed...

Trust me to prefer erring on too liberal instead of blocking
too much.

Sorry ?

I remember, that for some month I have gotten minimum 15 SPAMs per
day from this List. Siche two (???) month it is very silent here..

I think, there was an Admin which had changed the SPAM-Filter setings.

But one thing:

I an subscribed with two E-Mails to this list, the first one is
secret and get all the mails from the List... SPAM is very rarely.

The second E-Mail is, which I use to post here... and on which I
get per day between 300 and 6000 SPAMs.

I run my own spamassassin on my FileServer for all incoming Messges
and see only 5-20 messages coming through my filters.

Same for the 56 Debian mailinglist where I am subscribed.

I do not know, what happen if kernel.org and debian.org deactivate
the filters... maybe the Internet connection will not sufficiant to
distribute the SPAM.


Greetings
Michelle

419 spam mails in what timespan ?

I get max. 1 per day which is really sent through the maillist. I guess
the list is hit by min. 5000 per day, so what. Want you really to bitch
about the one which slips through ?

Of course my spam filters / mail server get rid of dozens per day which
pretend to come from the maillist.

Can you imagine what happens when they remove the filters ?
