It looks like some spammers got a hold of the input address for the gmane.org site for the linux-rt-users mailing list and directed spam directly into gmane.org. That seems the to be most likely case given that the spam isn't present at the mail-archive.com archive site nor for those of us directly subscribed to the linux-rt-users mailing list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] It looks like the spam messages were deleted, probably when someone reported the messages as Spam on the gmane.org web interface. However, it looks like the index files weren't adjusted at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.rt.user web site. The blog.gmane.org site is in slightly better condition; the top level page isn't showing anything useful, but the month of December page seems to show recent messages: http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.rt.user/month=20061201 Interestingly enough, the list of messages found here: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.rt.user only has spam, and doesn't have anything newer than December 11th. So I'm guessing that the spam was elimiated, but at least some of the web-based index files aren't being updated for the past week or so. Fortunately, it looks like the mail-archive.com archive site is working OK, and I have my own personal copy of mailing list archived (although I don't have anything set up to make it available on the web site; but it's could be used to setup up a pipermail site or I can make it available to gmane.org if for some reason their data files are scrambled beyond the need for recovery --- what, me paranoid?) I've cc'ed Lars Magne Ingerigsten, who is one of the administrators for gmane.org, in the hopes he can take a look at things and straighten them out. Lars, let me know if I can help in any way. - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
