Rejecting 99% of the incoming mail would be very bad if 5% of the incoming mail were legitimate. I meant exactly what I said: Debian rejects something like 95% of the incoming mail to the mailing lists according to the latest message from the listmasters. If I'd meant that we reject 95% of the *spam*, I would have said that. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
