If I am going to whitelist addresses caught in my spam trap
manually, the least I would do is to grep the relevant messages out
of the spam trap and see if whitelisting is the thing to do.
Most likely, some reader of the mailing list sent in the
secret as pay back for the annoyance of these silly CR messages
that seem hell bent on spamming -devel (indeed, there was a
short discussion whether TMDA should be thrown out of Debian
since it seemed to so cluelessly spam the list)
