you mean
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-listmasters/spamassassin_config/commit/5c59e47ba8d9f6c8540fb90b3c0cdd73205fb693
?

And the moderators (that don't exist) have nothing to do with anti spam
measures on lists.debian.org. You can send patches and/or pull-requests at
any time to our anti spam methods.

We can give it a try, just for this list. But tbh, you have really no idea
how much spam we catch.

Getting rid of amavis wouldn't change anything. 
We would still call SA.

it is used for several things, like a viruscanner, language specific
spamassassin sets and some other things. Removing it wouldn't get you better
SA results.

He should at least wait until he gets its facts right. Afair/afaik there
never was any offer to help or constructive help we received from him.

I have the same laptop. 
With recent versions (testing) of cdrecord its possible to write cds
withous SCSI Emulation. This works fine for me. You have just to use
dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 as device option. This works also with xcdroast.

Every modern cdrecorder manufactured in the last years should work without 
any problems. Mostly not being able to boot is a bios problem.

Recent versions of cdrecord are able to use the ATAPI method to burn cdroms. 
This method is aside of the classic ide-scsi method nd is that what some
people would call "native" burning. 
I do not know if the woody version has already this method, but the sid
and sarge version does. 
If you want to use it try:

cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI:
then you should see something like this:

scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'TOSHIBA ' 'DVD-ROM SD-R2312' '1708' Removable
CD-ROM

Then you are lucky and are able to use the ATAPI transport method:

cdrecord -speed XX dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -eject -v .iso

But be carefull, this method is marked a beta. But I use it for several
months without any problems.
