The current setup stops 5000 spams from hitting mailman, every day. Changing that would have serious consequences in terms of processing time - both for lists itself, and for the people who look at quarantine queues. Given that we have heard zero complaints about missing messages since this configuration went in production in the spring, I really want to know just how many false positives there are. I think/hope there are very few. But, we should find out for sure. Thanks, Ward. -- Ward Vandewege <[email protected]> Free Software Foundation - Senior System Administrator
