Notes from listmasters on brief outage of lists and influx of spam



There was a brief outage of mail from the list server today
corresponding with the filling up of /var on murphy. The issue which
lead to it being filled up (as well as the fact that it was full) has
been corrected, and the queue is slowly draining.

Another issue which was discovered at the same time is that mail to
mulitple named recipients would bypass the more stringent spam
filters, which (in combination with /var filling up) was responsible
for more spam than normal hitting the lists. That has also been
rectified.

As always, if there is spam that is making it through the lists, feel
free to bounce it to report-listspam@lists.debian.org. If you have
other problems or questions, contact listmaster@lists.debian.org

Your listmasters.
