I hope after cropping surnames the privacy is better.
Obviously, some people don't like your statics, and started
aiming their spam bots to our list.
Do you have any measure that it is *obvious* that my mail triggerd
more SPAM? I observed more SPAM too, but the connection to a
single mail is not really clear to me.
Please help marking spam
(especially in the disguise of "out of office notices") at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2009/01/threads.html
(click a message and "report as spam").
Well, I just announced that the processing I did revealed
4500 SPAM mails in our archive. I probably could detect about
2000-3000 more. If only listmaster would answer my mail

Once I'm writing to listmaster: What information do
you need if I detected potential spam lilke
http://people.debian.org/~tille/liststats/potential_spam
to make it really useful to clean up the archive?

-----------------------------------------------------------
What do you expect me to do more? I'm willing to polish
the data in any form which is useful for listmaster - but
I can not wild guess what this might be.
Do you volunteer to ping them? I just need some information
which tags they need to remove the spam and I will tweak my script
to provide this information. I would even try to parse their
code to learn about the needed fields - but a single answer
what piece of code might hide this information would be just
helpful.
Kind regards
Andreas.
