Indeed. > Are you claiming that if I do *any* spam filtering on the address > listed in my packages, it is not suitable? I wonder the same. Apparently, receiving tons of spam is not our only duty as package maintainers, it seems we are also forced to *read* it to be "good maintainers"... Thomas: If you send me a message which is "spammy" in nature (for whatever definition my bayesian filter has of "spammy") and it's stored in my spam folder, it is very likely that I will not read it, and you will never know that the message landed in my spam folder. At least using a good DNSBL like the CBL would clearly tell the sender (if it's a human) that the message will not be read, since the message is rejected at SMTP stage. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
