A suggestion:
If you're going to send a spam-filter snippet to the list, try to avoid
attaching it as plain text. Certain key strings (such as the "*ull's *ye
*old" in the recent example) may trigger filters.
Huh? Just white-list this (and any other subscribed) mailing list before
filtering on subject or content. That's easy and I believe has been
suggested numerous times as a necessity for any reasonable content-based
spam detector.
I would rather people *DON'T* start attaching base64 or uuencoded
attachments that can't be read at the same time as the annotating text, and
that I can't look at in my mailbox using my favorite mail reader, less :-)
Plus, they're *much* harder to quote correctly in replies with many
mail clients.
Thanks,
