Due to some spam that was getting into the wwwoffle-users list I
started using Spamassassin to filter the e-mails that were destined
for the list. Over the past month this has removed about 20 spam
e-mails from this list and a similar amount from wwwoffle-win32. I
have made the spamassassin settings strict to do this.
Unfortunately due to the nature of e-mails about WWWOFFLE it has also
captured a valid e-mail. This was due to it containing non-standard
URLs (using port 8080!) and some other words / capitalisation.
In particular one from Felix Karpfen has been held up for several days
until I found it and re-sent it bypassing the spam checks. If future
e-mails to the list are delayed for several days then this is possibly
the cause.
I hope that the balance is correct. Having 1 valid e-mail identified
as spam seems about the right price to pay for receiving none of the
20 real spam e-mails, considering the amount of spam that is sent.
