Is there any reason the the list archives need to house all of the spam messages as well as the legitimate emails? Makes it harder to search. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Love to know how they have it all configured. It always perplexed me how the archives could have all that spam that never gets seen on the list. It's almost like the spam filtering it setup to take place after the incoming mail is put in the archive, which seems silly. I'm sure there's some reason it is setup that way, I just haven't thought of what it might be....

A lot of the emails labelled SPAM are legitimate messages to the list that have gotten mislabelled: lots of mine, for instance, and several from other posters over the last couple of days. There was a long discussion about potential reasons that wound down toward the end of last week.

True. However, the http archive also includes mail labeled as spam that was not emailed to us; why does it show there, then? - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDxk5RtTMYHG2NR9URAselAKCHpvyrIWHEYcOlPXqBhXVKMJ1uPQCfZqbs A3XPSSPnc1QDYmvgBl9qgsc= =ZT/3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

My point exactly, if it is spam delete it otherwise it would have gone to the list members. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

I'd suggest emailing the list owner and see what s/he has to say about that, but that might not produce anything fruitful. I did that ahead of the aforementioned SPAM thread, following the directions for emailing same, and all I got was the list's response bot telling me how to email info, FAQ, and, umm, the list owner for talking to a human. I never did get any response from an actual human. Eric Hines There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. --Bertrand Russell
