Man what a load of crap on this list this morning!
aa. I never get spam in my debian folder because I run two spam filters
of my own. Come on, we have to give some of the job to the user as well
as the server.
bb. A week ago I asked about a real problem that I'm having and got
nothing on two lists and the forum.
How about putting some effort into stuff that helps users truck on
rather than a flame about stupid spam?!
Cheers Don

No, Russ implied that reality occasionally intrudes on fantasies of
spam-free inboxes.
Russ stated:
It's unlikely to get substantially better than it is (I believe
we're already rejecting something like 95% of the incoming mail), so
if it's still not good enough for you, you should probably consider
unsubscribing.
I beleive that 99% is achieveable, and I believe his final
"unsubscribe" sentence is akin to walking away from the problem.
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.
Well, there are two ways to read what you originally wrote, and since
the thread discussion was on rejecting spam I took your 95% statement
to mean d.o was blocking 95% of spam. I beleive d.o can (and should)
attempt to block 100% of spam.
You did say the part about "unsubscribe".
