Package: rss2email Severity: normal Sometimes a feed will turn into a spam source. If you have 100 feeds in r2e, and this happens to one of them, it can be very hard to work out which feed you need to unsubscribe from.
In the case that I'm dealing with now, the title of the feed was also changed by the spammer, and all the permalinks pointed at some site that has nothing to do with whatever site the feed was deposited on. So there is no identifying information. The best I could do is download every feed and grep for keywords from the spam -- and hope that the feed had not changed in the meantime to invalidate my grep. This pain could easily be avoided if r2e included the original feed url in an email header. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- see shy jo
