Message-ID: <20140909162820.GA3335@ednor.casa.cgf.cx> Mail-Followup-To: overseers@sourceware.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) X-SW-Source: 2014-q3/txt/msg00146.txt.bz2 I would like to do something about the spam in the bugzilla backed mailing lists. I have two options: 1) Delete the messages (easy with mhonarc -rmm) 2) Munge the message body and subjects (already have an untested script to do this) I only discovered the mhonarc option after writing a script to munge the spam. I'd prefer to use the option since I just noticed that, in my script, I had not taken mhonarc's database into consideration when modifying index.html, msgNNNNN.html, and friends. Is there a reason to keep bread crumbs in the archive or is it ok to just eliminate any bug marked as spam? I intend to do this retroactively so that if a bug is marked as spam older messages will also be munged/removed. Everything will also be backed up, of course. cgf
