Spam on Debian lists



Dear debian-user readers,

Because Debian has a policy of open lists (posting allowed without 
subscribing) it may happen that the occasional spam will pass the 
*excellent* filters. In such cases, please:

- do not reply to the spam message, it makes it impossible to clean the 
  archives afterwards. It's even worse if you quote (even partially) the 
  spam, because this confuses the filters
- if you really have to post something to debian-user about that 
  particular message, please start a new thread and don't quote any 
  parts of it
- if you want to help with cleaning the archives please bounce[1][2] the 
  message to report-listspam@lists.debian.org.

[1] this is mutt terminology, it might be called 'redirect' in other 
mail clients, but it's definitely not a forward

[2] will not work with Gmail as a smarthost, since they also filter 
outgoing mail

Just another reader,
Andrei
