Indeed. I'm sorry for that. As it stands now, mc-devel gets about 40 virus bounces and reports a day. They all are held in the moderation queue. It takes a lot of time to remove them. There are occasional legitimate messages from unsubscribed users. When Mailman (the mailing list software) shows them in the queue, it also gives a reason for rejection. It shows only one reason, not all of them. When a message comes from an unsubscribed user and it exceeds the allowed size, I only see the first reason. Mailman shows only the beginning of the message, so it's not immediately obvious that the message is huge. It can be seen from the headers, but my first concern is not to discard legitimate mail in the flood of garbage, so I'm not always paying attention to details. It happened in the past already. If I had control over the Mailman installation, this problem would have been fixed already. I have asked the gnome.org sysadmins to upgrade Mailmen to the latest version, which has a much superior moderation queue, but they don't want to do it. I'll try to be more careful in the future. Sorry for inconvenience. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
