I am not asking for a valid signature. It could but also just an additional header field or something. It does not happen very ofter but it gets more annoying each time it happens. In the end it is just the submitter and/or the maintainer that should close the bug so most people probably won't notice this. > I have some ideas about using mail/web roundtrip for first time mails to > the BTS, but they're pretty far down my debbugs TODO list. Maybe it would help if we could get rid of the old "close+reopen" bugs from the bug's page. All bugs in which I observe those "spam-close mails" were closed earlier (by mistake or wrong reasons) and then reopened. If they are still harvesting then it would help. If they keep their database then it probably makes no sense. Sebastian
