I have gotten more then 1000 of them!

Two lists: <debian-user> and <debian-devel>

1st) I have not ask to get over 1000 CR's from someone I do not know.
2nd) I have tried to click on the link several times but it continued
to bother me every day with CR's.

Right, I have checked on of those mails I have gotten to. The messges
does not look like a message coming from the Mailinglist, becasue it
was sliping throgh my filters and ended in my SPAM-Folder.
I would suggest to create a Message which is EXACTLY like the list
messages but with a modified Subject line like
"Question about filtering CR reponses with no $SERIAL"
Where $SERIAL is a numeric identifier of the subscribers of the list.

Allready done... no success!

No good idea...
