In response to the attached list of spam (18 spam e-mails to dri-devel in only 3 days!)
i have to ask if the dri-devel mailing list can now be set to subscribers-only policy?
i dont feel thats any longer acceptable. that daily mailbox digging is really a hoax.
I use spamassassin which filters 95% of all spam I receive so it doesn't affect me directly, but I still get concerned with the bandwith usage. Looking into my spam folder I have to agree with you as around 60% of the spam comes either trhough dri-devel or dri-patches. Oddly dri-users receives much less spam (is it open to subscribers only, or is it just less known to spambots?)
IMO dri-devel should be subscriber only, and leave dri-users open to everybody. Dri-patches should definatly be subscriber only, but I don't know how that would interfere with the CVS email notification scripts.
Mozilla 1.3 has been filtering spam pretty well for me, but I'd be in favor of making the DRI lists subscriber-only.
The Mesa lists are all subscriber-only and nobody's ever complained.
