Hi everybody, Ok, I disabled anonymous posting for now. However, this is not a solution as it prevents the ordinary user from posting bug reports. If I weren't a member of SANE, I wouldn't create an account just for writing a bug report. Please contact the admins at alioth.debian.org for a real solution. SANE is for sure not the only project having this problem.
Personally, I got a total of 3 (in words three) spams from the tracking in the last 4 weeks. So there must be some difference?
