I think the biggest complaint people have is over GNATS poor understanding of MIME. Currently, much of this can be avoided through the use of procmail scripts and auto-responders. I have a custom procmail script that does a pretty good job of filtering out marked spam, viruses, and overly large emails. HTML-only emails are converted to text, and emails that fail to enter the queue are saved to separate mail folders. If you're interested in the RC file, just send me an email and I'll forward it to you.=20 MIME-handling enhancement is one of those big TODO's that would bring GNATS around to modern email technology. --=20 Chad Walstrom http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ --JBi0ZxuS5uaEhkUZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline Content-length: 189 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAxzI5DMcLGCBsWv0RAoMCAKDDiTdLoA+87nHTivoyOgUPL/ci0gCgyd7Y bPKsXOsQGuxwD335ZGsmd9o= =GU/J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --JBi0ZxuS5uaEhkUZ-- --===============0419798645== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Content-length: 140 _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats --===============0419798645==--
