Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I often use the msgid-finder to flag messages as spam. When it finds
results in lists I'm not subscribed to, I flag those too.

But it seems, it does not index messages with malformed headers, like

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

(note the missing right bracket)

The message should already be indexed, because

Received: from mx1.euroweb.ro (mx1.euroweb.ro [193.226.61.14])
        by liszt.debian.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7A61F13A5C3D
        for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 13 Dec 2007 22:17:59 +0000 (UTC)

I found 2 of those messages today, which can at the moment be found at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2007/12/msg00024.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2007/12/msg00001.html

I remember that there was some spam with the missing right bracket in the
past and when it didn't show up with msgid-search, I thought it was
already deleted from the archives. Maybe others use the msgid-search, too
to flag spam and when it doesn't get listed (and so not flagged) maybe
some of those messages go unnoticed. So it might be a good idea let
messages be indexed, that match (perlish):
/^message-id:[[:space:]]+<(.+)>?/i
where $1 is then the string for the indexer.

It just crossed my mind, that I had some spam in the past where the
message-id was just "<[" (sans the quotes of course), so it's maybe a
good sign for spam in general?

Greetings,
 Mike Dornberger
