From time to time, people post offending messages to this list, but I've never seen that this is really appreciated. In any case, so short before 2.50 is released, with a much better rulebase (they say - didn't test it yet), it doesn't make much sense submitting spam not caught by 2.43 (which I assume you have). (No, I'm not a sa developer either) cheers -- vbi -- featured link: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/subkeys
