That's not a new phenomenon, it has been happening for many years: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/03/msg00847.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/09/msg00124.html > Just pointing this out here to make people aware and (maybe) to discuss > what could be done regarding this. Apart from restricting access to the BTS (which I think nobody really wants), the answer is to train the spam filters. In fact, I am quite surprised that the current spam wave has been lasting for so long, those messages should be quite easy to filter out. Cheers, Sven
