Since several month, all mails transiting via gnu.org are filtered by spamassassin. To me, it's very effective. See the Savannah hackers mailing-list for instance In this mailing-list, you can see lot of spam because the list is unused. As a matter of fact, I even set it as "hidden" from the Savannah front page. I added following a suggestion but apparently it not useful. Users of the Savannah software write to savannah-dev, and users of the Savannah platform write to savannah-hackers. > > I am looking to work on a translation project which would require > some elderly non-software related people to participate via mailing > lists. > > A bit concerned about the current spam level and the nature of the spam too. Take a look at http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers/2003-05/threads.html you'll find about 3 spams for the month, on more than one hundred mails. I think that this is not concerning. 3 spam / 500 mails seem a very acceptable ratio. -- Mathieu Roy Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org Not a native english speaker: http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
