Package: bugs.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi! In the past months, we're seeing a MASSIVE amount of spam in the BTS that's not properly rejected. Most of what gets through follows the same scheme: * a body of text that follows one of a few themes (usually fedex, a parcel, an invoice, court stuff), but is too diverse for a simple rule * a single .zip attachment * a single Windows executable (.exe, .scr, .wsf, .js, .pif, etc, possibly in ALL CAPS or with MiXeD CaSe) inside
I think an auto-reject for .zip attachment, with a polite reject message asking to use a tarball instead, would be reasonable -- it's pretty unlikely for a legitimate submitter to use zip, and the burden to resend the bug is not big. If that'd be too disruptive in your opinion, looking inside the .zip and banning only Windows executables would be good. It's a very unusual to have a reason to attach such a file, and tarballs can do that well. Meow!
