A very valid point... I took the task more general - to infiltrate bug reports (and may be give ideas for even mailing lists) from SPAM. crawlers get all [EMAIL PROTECTED] emails and then bug reports get spammed as well as the relevant dudes.
BTW - why it has to be "iff" scheme - why it can't be a pipeline if signed with a valid GPG signature -- permit else if spamassassin gives negative score -- permit else send a verification letter Indeed - it is more load on the server but 1st step doesn't require much of load, mostly waiting time for the transaction. We would get to spamassassin quite rarely if most of people (and DD) start signing their submissions, and 3rd one will hit with probably 1% false positives... -- .-. =------------------------------ /v\ ----------------------------= Keep in touch // \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User ^^-^^ [175555]
