Hello, The bug-gdb mailing list is drenched in spam. About 90% of the messages in the 2002-December and 2002-November archives are spam.
I would like to volunteer to administer the bug-gdb mailing list and filter the spam. This is a Mailman list. I'm one of the administrators of [EMAIL PROTECTED], another Mailman list. We found that it was easy and effective to anti-spam our list by: . holding all posts from non-subscribers for approval . distributing all posts from subscribers . adding about three dozen well-known non-subscribers to a whitelist (if we see someone regularly respond to posts which are sent to kbuild-devel + other places, and they are not a subscriber, we just whitelist them). The downside is that some legitimate posts are held for approval for many hours / 1-2 days. You can mitigate this by having several administrators with approval authority. Right now, I suspect that many gdb maintainers do not even bother reading bug-gdb at all because of the high spam content. Affiliations: I am a gdb contributer and have a current FSF assignment on file for gdb and other projects. I am a former employee of Red Hat.
