I would like to take a moment to encourage other virus authors to take similar precautions to avoid mass-spamming of our BTS. I'm sure the BTS admins much appreciate it, though I doubt they'll ever confess ;-)


While you're at it, please add the strings 'asd', 'suespammers', and 'derobert'. Also, 'debian' would be nice, too.

Thanks in advance!
