Re: [META] Why are duplicate posts coming through?
Chris, Please forward one or two to me. Mark Sapiro and I have been banging on the SpamBayes instance which supports the Usenet gateway. I suppose it's possible some change caused the problem you're seeing. Skip On Nov 26, 2017 5:22 PM, "Chris Angelico" wrote: Not sure whether this is an issue for -owner or not; apologies if not. I'm seeing a whole lot of reasonably-recent posts getting re-sent, with "nospam" attached to the posters' names. And they're getting re-sent multiple times. Sometimes the posts have encoding problems (small amounts of mojibake). What's going on? Is there something going haywire with the news/mail gateway? Is there a rogue client re-posting a bunch of news? Somebody testing something? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't know why it would have capitalized the "e". Still, I plowed ahead and hit RET which yielded an "Invalid character" message in the minibuffer.

This is the second thread about this. I was thinking it might be related to recent changes to the gate_news process on mail.python.org, but this fingerprint looks nothing like what gate_news does. Looking at a somewhat long-ish thread: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.lang.python/YoxLtkzlt_o/discussion I see a couple posts from Chris Angelico, only some of which have a "nospam" preface. It would seem that someone was trying to mark certain posters as "not spammy," (I'm sure Chris is flattered) and somehow posts with that private marking leaked out of the user's system starting in the past twelve hours or so. Newsreader configuration problem? Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
