Good to know the Debian people are talented at that. Hate to think about the sea of spam though. I am remembering that my provider uses Spamassassin, but the settings are light and it has never filtered Debian list addresses that I've seen. I use Spambouncer on procmail. List spam is getting a spam-score of 0. pattern matching is on. So I might add some more aggressive block-list services to get that score up. -- Kind Regards, Freeman http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
