Subject: Tightened up spam checking for local groups like gcc-cvs, gdb-cvs, etc.
Date: Thu, 20 May 2004 18:31:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040520183128.GA26488@coe.bosbc.com> (raw)
I don't know why but I wasn't seeing a lot of spam in the various *-cvs
lists but, today, someone complained about the amount they were seeing
in cygwin-cvs. So, I took a look at the archives and was appalled by
how many things had slipped into what was supposed to be a private
group.
Anyway, I've applied a relatively quick hack to
/sourceware/infra/bin/local-mail-only.sh which should stop external
people from spamming local-only lists using what appear to be local
From: email.
There is always the possibility that I missed something however, so
please be on the lookout for messages not getting correctly propagated
to various *-cvs groups. If you notice something amiss please send
an alert here.
Now, I just have to figure out what part of my current email setup
is kindly eating the spam that I actually want to see...
