I don't think it matters much for the Alioth mailing lists. They are completely different and separate from the "official" Debian mailing lists. The normal mailing lists use Smartlist and have a Procmail based frontend with custom anti-spam measures. The Alioth mailing lists use Mailman and as far as I know do not have anywhere near the same level of anti-spam available. Mailman is rather limited. > [Probably a bit silly to feed off topic lists through [the|a|your] spam > filter anyway.] Well... It isn't us the subscribers doing this but the list admins who are feeding the messages into a Bayes engine for classification. And I am very happy they are doing it. By percentage there is very little spam to debian-user. Although I have extensive anti-spam for my personal email I don't feed any mailing list traffic through it. It just doesn't make sense to me. Thank you for appropriately changing the subject and so forth to keep the auto-learning engines from doing the wrong thing though.

I wish that poor spelling and grammar were a sign of spam. But all too often it is the typical non-spam message these days. I have a vision of a fast tape gun dispenser as used in a shipping dock. But perhaps it is something tapping, something rapping, something tapping at my tablet door. Only this, and nothing more. Bob P.S. My config for signing my mail was off because this is lists.alioth.debian.org not lists.debian.org. I have changed that for future mailings. I will mention it here so that I can honestly say that I always sign my Debian messages to prevent spoofing. P.P.S. Yes, I was actually previously spoofed. That is when I started signing my messages.
