Yes, I joined the white list and emailed full headers from my email post attempt to the listmasters. Never heard back from the listmaster so maybe my email to him/her got eaten by a spam filter too. Nothing works except the way I post now which is using google groups to post. Just hope the one way I can post does not go away.

Real problem with debian user is NOT spam, but that posts don' t get posted.
Real problem with debian user is not spam, but that posts don' t get posted. Every since around late June 2007, posts don't make it to debian user list. It used to work. I've tried 5 email accounts and over 15 posts and I've only found one way to post a question, an answer or reply to debian user list. Even posts from my email account at a reputable, large ISP that I pay $30 a month for won't post. And it took me 2 months to find a very complicated and unusual way to post here. So I've found a way to post but there are probably thousands of people who can't post to debian user at all. My posts were about mouse not working after etch upgrade and other upgrade problems, so why flag is as spam?? Asking to let the post through by emailing to list master doesn't work either! The spam filter is set way, way too high. The funny thing is that people are not aware since the people who can't post, can't complain about it on the list. You guys need to be aware of this posting problem. I finally gave up and went to ubuntu forums to post and get help. If posts don't get through, and my upgrade to etch caused things to be broken for 2 or 3 months is just unacceptable if there is no help to get things fixed. Probably the only way to fix this is the way ubuntu forums work in that spam posts can be deleted from the forum by flagging. Unfortunately, most of the debian experts seem to read this email list and not the web based forums for debian that I have found. In general, I'm thankful for the volunteers who run the list, but if you can't post, it's worthless and we should kill this list. By the way, if you want to get rid of spam, read the debian user email list with gmail and all the spam goes to a junk folder. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The spammers are putting so much legitimate text into their spams that bayesian spam filters are degrading and flagging good messages--which is intended to force people to turn the filters off. I'm too lazy to do this, but I wonder if someone could count how many of today's spams contain one line of advertising text and more than five lines of normal text conversation captured from the web. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
