All the spam has been removed from the Trac, though unfortunately we 
can't remove it from the mailing list archives so easily.


I'm not sure exactly who removed it all - I removed some of it, but the 
spammer account had already been removed when I got there.


We do have the Trac spam filter plugin, and since having that enabled we 
haven't had problems with spam for quite a while.  I'm not exactly sure 
how the recent flurry of spam got through, but we'll have to keep an eye 
on things and try to diagnose the problem if it happens again.

Maybe you should translate to Perl. Nobody will notice it is machine-generated.

RE: *****SPAM***** Annotation for unfolding wanted

Anybody know what spam detection program is producing this absurd result, so
I can make sure I never even think about using it?  It's the second such

The potential of Bayesian filtering is vastly overstated, but this one has
to be a bug or usage error of some sort.

I can only recall seeing these on the hugs specific lists (hugs-users,
hugs-bugs), not the more general Haskell lists and they seem to be
auto-triggered by e-mail size. It wouldn't surprise me to learn they're
administered differently from haskell and haskell-cafe and just get
relayed through haskell.org. However I fully agree with you that spam is a
real problem (I estimate at least 50% of the spam I get comes from the
Haskell/hugs lists).

RE: Spam

2002-08-30 Thread Simon Marlow

 Sorry to bother you with a message about spam.
 
 I have noticed two things about this mailing list:
 
 * Every once in a while, we get messages like your e-mail
   is under consideration for sending to the list. This
   suggests that the mailing list is moderated, and that
   there is some person deciding on what can and what cannot
   be sent to the list.
 
   (One could discuss wether it is a good idea to send these
   messages to the whole list rather than just to the person
   who sent them, but let us not discuss that here.)

The list is partly moderated: any message over a certain size, or with
too many destination addresses, or with certain keywords, gets held for
moderation.

The moderation messages you're seeing are caused by viruses (primarily
Win32.Klez) which spoof the sender address.  The virus messages are
always caught by the auto moderation, but sometimes the sender address
has been spoofed to be one of the other Haskell lists, so the moderation
message gets sent there.  Unfortunately causing these messages to be
caught by the moderator would lead to an infinite loop...

 * Very often, we get spam e-mail. This suggests that nobody
   is moderating the list.

Spam is supposed to be caught by SpamAssassin on haskell.org.  It's
doing a pretty good job so far - I get far fewer messages to moderate,
but the occasional one does get through.

 These two observations are in contradiction with each other.
 
 Couldn't we allow list subscribers to submit to the list
 without problems, whereas non-list subscribers have to be
 approved by a list moderator?

I've resisted doing that because (a) I'm lazy and (b) lots of people are
subscribed to the list using addresses which are different from the ones
they post with, so we'd have to gradually build up a list of those
addresses which are allowed.

Well, maybe I'll give it a go for a while.  If it's too much hassle
expect an advertisment for the moderator's job soon...

Cheers, 
Simon
