Which is why there are occasionally bug reports that get closed by spam

Of course, I should know that, I've seen it quite a few times.


Wondering whether the BTS should require a certain string in the email
subject (like "[BTS]") for messages to {control,submit}@b.d.o?  Of
course, reportbug, devscripts, etc. could then be set up to do this
automatically (well, presumably they should start doing it *before* any
such requirement was imposed).

There are disadvantages to replacing the 'close' command with
<nnn>-done@b.d.o...

Wonder if SpamAssassin or similar is running on b.d.o.
