Ramanan Selvaratnam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a tapoté :Well it is working now.
Hello all,
I have two questions.
1/ Are savannah mailing lists down or experiencing any delays today.
Not that I'm aware about.
So I have written to the correct place with a mailing list related question.(?)
2/ going through the archives of this list I see a lot of spam.
Is there a way to control this menace?
I am subscribed to a Savannah list where the there was once a lot of
spam but over the past six months only about two.
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.
Your answer is very helpful. Thanks.
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.
Ciao,
Ramanan
