I just got an unwanted e-mail offering an improvement in performance
directed to several IETF lists namely
gsmp(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org, hubmib-admin(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org,
hubmib(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org, iab(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org,
idr-admin(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org, idr(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org,
ieprep-admin(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org
Three things puzzle me. I am subscribed to more than one of these lists
but only received the mail on idr - why the inconsistency?
I guess the others were blocking nonsubscriber mails....
Second, the e-mail contains a check saying hits 8.4 required 5 so why did
it get sent it at all?
Spamassassin is run in test mode - mark, but do not block. Switching to
blocking mode is being considered, but people wanted experience with the
rate of false positives. (note - it seems to be low)
And, I extracted enough of the header to identify the mail and sent it off
to idr-admin to get back a message saying blocked by s p a m control; err
yes, the IETF can send it to me but I cannot tell the IETF what they are
doing.
Some individual mailboxes at IETF secretariat utilize mailblocking, even
while the list does not..... I'm not even sure idr-admin is at the
secretariat; it might be the list moderators (often the WG chairs).
Explanations, especially conspiracy theories, appreciated.
sad to disappoint :-)
