Hi all, As most of you will have noticed, there was a particularly bad SPAM attack against the BTS today. Filters are in place now. In view of the extremely high amount of mail, we have decided to make an exception and clean up the list archives.
Al in all 35 lists were hit. To give an idea of the numbers involved, here are the lists hit most heavily (>100 spams): 791 debian-wnpp/2007/debian-wnpp-200704 361 debian-x/2007/debian-x-200704 194 debian-boot/2007/debian-boot-200704 170 debian-qt-kde/2007/debian-qt-kde-200704 157 debian-glibc/2007/debian-glibc-200704 135 debian-kernel/2007/debian-kernel-200704 105 debian-qa-packages/2007/debian-qa-packages-200704 102 debian-tex-maint/2007/debian-tex-maint-200704 Normally the list archives are not cleaned [1] with as main reason that doing so would invalidate any links to mails on the list archives website. One consideration in cleaning the archives this time is that it is unlikely that (m)any links to valid posts had been created yet. On behalf of the list masters, Frans Pop [1] In some exceptional cases mails have been replaced by a placeholder mail.
