Yes .... (i did miss the announcement of that, only for the BTS). BTW, i am not sure, but i think it should be possible to catch the spam send to almost all debian lists, but which spamassassin does not know about. It would need a caching of all the mail ids, and a checking for duplicates, and if the same messages is sent to 6+ or something so debian mailing lists, label it as spam ? Friendly, Sven Luther
