The debian-ctte list is a historically special case. I don't believe that
it should be; I'm on plenty of other Debian mailing lists and find the
common spam filtering more than adequate. But I know that Ian has strong
opinions on mail configuration, so we should be sure we have a consensus
among the TC before making a change here.
As a workaround for those trying to send mail to the TC, here is what I
understand is *supposed* to be the debian-ctte posting policy:
- mail sent via the BTS is accepted
- mail sent by list subscribers is accepted
- mail with a valid PGP signature is accepted
- all other mail is rejected
This has been the stated policy in the past; if it has changed since then, it
was done so without discussion on the debian-ctte mailing list, so I would
consider any divergence a bug. (Which would not be surprising, as this is
the only Debian list with so complex of a posting policy, and there have
been implementation bugs in the past.)
