Please do accept my apologies for not making it explicit that it was the
spam filter configuration that considered your mail spam and not your
mail itself. Also I should have been more verbose about the fact that it
was largely the URL in the signature raising the spam-score to the level
that triggers the spam filter.[1]
In the meantime it has turned out that another safeguard against
filtering legitimate mail - the whitelisting of subscribers - had been
turned off by mistake, otherwise your messages would have passed through
to the list without problems. This has been fixed by now.
I am sorry to have caused you to consider removing yourself from the
Debian lists, it was certainly not my intention to dismiss your
messages. I can assure you that I hope that you will find that future
message will pass through the filters and will readily try to find
adjustments them to better serve you if they don't pass.

It was not my intention to say that it is spam, just that it had been
classified by spam by the filters we regrettably have to run.

In this case, we hardly have a conflict, as I fully understand
Wolfgang's complaints about the mail. Again, I was trying too hard to be
quick and I am sorry to have offended Wolfgang, which was as far from my
intention as it could be.
Kind regards

1. We do get a fair number of complaints about spam we let through and
luckily less about legitimate mail that is blocked by our filters,
so the stock initial reaction to the latter is "Message-Id?". In this
case I found your mail and copied the raw spamassasin score and
wanted to get out the mail quick to avoid duplication of responses
(which incidentally has happened as well).
