Yes, spam might be a problem, but projects exist that allow anybody to email bug reports (NetBSD, FreeBSD, and Debian are a few examples). For example, projects using gnats as the bug tracker could easily reject messages that are not formatted correctly. Projects using an anonymous web form could use a CAPTCHA to slow spammers down. --apb (Alan Barrett) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
