Some of the ones that get through were caught by my own email provider or client software (Thunderbird). So it seems like a pretty minor problem. I could ask the SourceWare administrators to fine-tune their spam filters, but I think they're doing an adequate job. Some amount of spam is inevitable these days. At some point it might make sense to move the mailing list from sourceware (perhaps to a host that uses mailman 3), but at this point IMO "it ain't broke". -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
