The way I look at it, the best that I could do would be to set up a spam
filter as good as the good people who run Deian lists's spam filter.
Then again, since I've never tried, I couldn't come anywhere close to as
good as they do. On the other hand, they have to note a loophole (such
as we're experiencing now) then fix the spam filter to remove it without
removing legitimate mails. I could end up missing legitimate mails
through less testing before implementing it.
In other words, give the list guys a break. It will likely be fixed in
a day or so.
Doug.
