vin> Stephen, Is the sense of the spam filter on xemacs-beta vin> reversed? I made a post earlier today and haven't seen it, vin> and all I got out of the list was spam. Thanks for the report, Vin! No, it was just broken. If it was reversed, you'd know it: in the 45 hours the filter was broken, it processed 1605 messages, of which at least 1580 would be spam. /*******************************************************************\ * * * All messages posted since 2004-12-28 0800 UTC will have to be * * reposted; the broken procmail recipe had /dev/null as the target. * * * \*******************************************************************/ I will repost a few messages that I got CC'd on myself: <001e01c4ed66$ceee7e40$220110ac＠neeeeeee2> (Ben Wing, xemacs-beta) <002001c4ed67$5c335960$220110ac＠neeeeeee2> (Ben Wing, xemacs-beta) <6.2.0.14.0.20041228222432.04baea00(a)pop.prospeed.net&gt; (xemacs-review) <000e01c4ed64$e1870010$220110ac＠neeeeeee2> (Ben Wing, xemacs-review) I have verified that these reposts got through the spam filter, so they should be delivered normally (the sendmail queue is backed up, as usual, so they haven't gone out yet). If you notice discontinuity (especially for these posts, but also in general), please let me (and the probable author, if you can guess) know and I'll resend if I have a copy. Unfortunately, due to my inability to keep up with the 200-300 spams per day that did not go directly to /dev/null, I've expanded the set of recipes that are automatically discarded greatly. This greatly increases the risk of something breaking, so please don't hesitate to write me and xemacs-mailmaint(a)xemacs.org if something seems amiss. I will update the spam filter policy statement at http://www.xemacs.org/Lists/#spam shortly. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
