Sorry if this has been answered before, I am just starting to keep up with mail backlog. In Bits of the listmasters in October 2007, there was some idea how to help against spam on lists. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/10/msg4.html There Martin Zobel-Helas wrote the following: ---[snip]--- [...] * Report spam that gets to you through our filters to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please leave all the headers untouched. The best method is to bounce (as in mutt) them. There is a plugin for thunder^Wicesomething to do that at http://mailredirect.mozdev.org/ . DO NOT do this automagically. If you want to help us, you must make personally sure that the things you report are REALLY spam. [...] ---[snap]--- Is this, what you are looking for?

Type `b', write the address as [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. Say yes. I think a single keystroke can be scripted for this. I'll try later tonight, though someone else is welcome to do this ahead of me. :-) HTH.

Er, that's too cool, but here's a simple one to start. Just add this to your .muttrc: macro index , bounce-message[EMAIL PROTECTED] macro index , bounce-message[EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course, change `,' to whatever key you want, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I press `,', it asks me if I'm sure I wish to bounce it, which is good to stop myself if I pressed `,' by mistake. This could be combined with some hook magic to detect the origin of spam, but I'll think about that later. For now, this seems enough for me. /me spanks myself for not having done this earlier. HTH.

I do not suggest you report automatically, as you will not review false positives. I actually put spam (as scored by SA) coming from the BTS or mailing list in different folders (through procmail) and then bounce those, after manually reviewing them, using a muttrc hook.

That wasn't my plan; acutally listmasters strongly discourage from doing so. Problem was, that I sorted spam to one directory, and was to lazy, to dig out where I got it from, so I didn't reported it, but ...

In case it's useful to anyone, here's a quick hack I put together for
easy BTS spam reporting from mutt.
Firstly a keybinding for .muttrc:
macro index B enter-commandunset
wait_key\npipe-entrybugspam\nenter-commandset wait_key\ndelete-message
macro pager B enter-commandunset
wait_key\npipe-entrybugspam\nenter-commandset wait_key\ndelete-message
Secondly, a script called bugspam which goes somewhere in $PATH:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Read message on stdin, get Bug#nnn from subject line then call
# bts reportspam to submit a spam report
$bug = 0;
while() {
if (m/^Subject: (?:\[.*\])?\s*Bug#(\d+): /) {
$bug = $1;
last;
}
}
if ($bug) {
print Reporting spam in bug $bug\n;
system bts reportspam $bug;
} else {
print Bug number not found from subject line\n;
}
(And install devscripts to get the bts program.)
Now, hit B on bug spam and be merry.
Future enhancements might include reopening of occasional [EMAIL PROTECTED]
spam incidents.
I suppose the trend these days would be to blog this rather than post,
but I don't have one.
I use mutt but I don't have the library of scripts that I'm sure many DD's
have to deal with debian-specific stuff, although I'd love one. Would
anyone besides me be interested in pooling mutt scripts useful for DD's on
the wiki or something?

I believe this kind of stuff should go into devscripts (maybe not in /usr/bin/ if people fear polluting that namespace to much, but still into devscripts).
