Re: [OT] SPAM

I got one from mysql@lists.mysql.com, and one from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And my filters remove anything that isn't from one of the mailing lists 
I subscribe to.

I don't see any. Maybe my spam filter is better than yours?
What exactly are you asking anyway?

Hi Stephen,

Unfortunately this is not a moderated list. Basically anybody can join,
send an email and then vanish. Nothing much to be done about it. I would
however note, this is only about the third time in a couple of years
listening that I've seen anything.

Did the spam actually come through the list, or did it just fake the From to 
make simple filters think it did?

Yes, and it's on our list-admin's TODO to move this list to another list
server very soon. Please be patient for just a little longer - it's going
to happen RSN and this sql,query thing will go away. Adding some more
words to the filter was just a preliminary action until it's fixed for
good.

Bye,

OT: Spam Filter (again)

2002-12-18 Thread Michael T. Babcock

Just for anyone who cares (or cares to do the same), when I reply to 
messages at my average 80wpm and hit send, I don't check if 
SQL,QUERY,etc. is in the message 90% of the time.  Now, besides thanking 
the crew for adding a couple more keywords to the filter, it still ticks 
me off to get a bounce to a legitimate response.  If I get such bounces 
from now on, I'm ignoring them (that includes the last 3 messages I've 
sent).  I'm not going to bother to retype / reformat / forward (because 
its ugly) the messages.  I always reply-to-all, so the author of the 
previous message gets their copy.

PS, it wouldn't be that hard (depending on your mail distribution 
method) to allow subscribers to post without going through the filter 
and only filter unsubscribed people.

PPS, you could always make it database-driven and add people who post 
successfully more than once a week to the no-spam-check list instead.

Allow postings from members only.
or
I think it's on the PHP lists, if a non-members sends a message he/she gets 
a message back. After replying to that message the original one hits the 
list..
mysql, query

I implemented a very simple trick.

My mailer is configured to notice when I'm posting to a MySQL list.
When I am, it auto-appends the real-time stats from our master server
below my sig file.  That's enough to make the filter happy.

But, yeah, I agree.  There are better ways to do this on the mail
server side.

I hope everyone grabs the headers from that message (and any other spam 
they receive) and reports it to spamcop.net to help us all block these 
people.

PS, this has nothing to do with MySQL, Databases or ACID compliance, but 
this line should ironically get me past the spam filter :)
