Spam in the gnus-bug group

Spam in the gnus-bug group

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

I've been kinda negative towards carrying the gnus-bug
non-mailing-list on Gmane because of all the "confidential" data in
the bug reports.  I'm probably wrong on that count, but in any case,
the version on Quimby should be cleaned up.

So I'm doing that.

The rules I'm using is that any message that doesn't

1) have the word "gnus" in the body
or
2) doesn't have the string ".fsf@" in the Message-ID
or
3) doesn't have a References header

is probably spam, so I'm cancelling that.

And I've changed mail-to-news script on Quimby to use the same rules,
so if you're not posting with Gnus to gnus-bug@gnus.org, you should
say "Gnus" somewhere in the body.  :-)

Ok; done.  The likelihood that I've nuked some valid messages is quite
high, but I don't think it's a lot of messages.

From having 15K messages unread, the group now has 400 unread
messages.  That means that I've cancelled 14.6K messages.  :-)

(I've cancelled all the spam in gnu.emacs.gnus from the last year as
well.)

Oops; spoke too soon.  There were a bunch marked as read; I'm
cancelling them now...

Here's my subject score rule for gnus.gnus-bug.  Maybe it's also
useful.

 ("subject"
  ("\\.el" 1000 nil R)
  ("\\<lisp/" 1000 nil R)
  ("\\<texi/" 1000 nil R)
  ("\\<contrib/" 1000 nil R)
  ("[patch]" 1000 nil s)
  ("Gnus" 1000 nil S)
  ("x?emacs\\|buffer\\|RFC\\|cvs\\|coding\\|scor[ei]\\|back ?end\\|customiz[aei]" 1000 nil r)
  ("gnus-[a-z]+-" 1000 nil R)
  ("message-[a-z]+" 1000 nil R)
  ("mml?-[a-z]+" 1000 nil R)
  ("[a-z][a-z0-9]+-[a-z][a-z0-9]+-[a-z][a-z0-9]+" 1000 nil R))

Bye, Reiner.
