Hey guys, the Apache email system is hosed.
It has bounced two recent emails, one because it supposedly already had
list headers on it, which as it went out of here it did not. The other
had the system's spamassassin filter barfing on the direct output of
sa-stats.pl which included several BAYES tags.
Can't the bozoids there do SOMETHING to make this list useable again?
This is getting ridiculous and has passed mere "annoying" for its
properties.
I was tempted to reply with a fake bounce message to you, but that
would be too mean. :-D
I am pretty good at detecting fakes, I believe. Besides bounces from
individual people get a procmail rule to bypass all further testing
on all future emails from that domain on their way to /dev/null. I am
not forgiving of mail bounces.
Of course, since it is easy for something as dumb old tech as procmail
to skip spamassassin tests on the SpamAssassin mailing lists it's
pretty easy to get VERY upset that the weenies at Apache.org can't
get their heads straight enough to fix the problems engendered by
their feeding this list through the same SpamAssassin filters as
every other list.
And a mail loop - why that's something as amateur as what I might do
setting up a mail service open to outside input. I've never done that
yet. But gee, they have.
