Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (3232 mails)

[(Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

An old theme, but surely it's time something was done!

As we know, the proportion of spam junk in the list
archives is high. For example, out of almost 400 messages
this month, some 175 are spam (44%). This makes it a real
pain to hunt back through the archives for messages/threads
one wants to revisit, and expecially to search for ones
with a possibly relevant subject-line for a topic one is
interested in.

However, we don't seem to get this junk actually mailed
to us by the list, yet it goes into the archives none the
less. If it can be filtered out before being mailed to
subscribers, why can't it be filtered out before going
into the archives?

Just curious ...

Best wishes to all,
Ted.
