Yes, this was a list that received a *LOT* of spam in the past, directly equating to a deluge of moderation every day for admins. That's why we don't auto-hold everything. Terribly sorry this impacted you Stanislav, your help is certainly appreciated! Hopefully the additional whitelisting of redhat.com should help. One thing I do with lists where I don't really want to read everything but where I do pop in to help out occasionally: Subscribe and then set to NOMAIL, allowing my posts but keeping delivery quiet. Perhaps that might help as general guidance for occasional helpers? -- Paul W.
