Re: About spam in the list archive
Hi,
if people are interested to spam-removal happen, I am looking for help
testing how this would work.
You need
- a GPG key that is somewhat close to the Debian keyring,
- to look at hundreds of messages that induced people to click on "this
is spam" button and sort them into spam, not spam, misguided
(e.g. unsubscribe requests and vacation messages), and unsure
with a bias towards not spam and unsure,
- python2.5 installed (available in stable/testing/unstable).
You get
- a (probably buggy) console program to show you mails and ask for
your opinion,
- a largish mbox file (for debian-project it is 6M uncompressed /
2M compressed) with the messages,
- a chance to do something about the spam in our web archive.
Maybe we could start with debian-project at the present and go back in
time from there until we get bored, but I'm open to suggestions.
Please contact me (off-list) if you are interested.
Kind regards
Thomas
