The amount of link-spam on the lists has increased greatly over the past few months. One fairly easy thing we could do to cut down on it is to bounce anything with an empty Subject --- that wouldn't have blocked this particular spam, but it'd have blocked more than 90% of the junk that I've noticed lately. And you could argue that "real" mail with no subject does not deserve our time anyway. regards, tom lane

Not to nitpick, but you also dropped the f-bomb to every single subscriber of pgsql-general when the subject was "7" instead of empty. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201110130837 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAk6W3EoACgkQvJuQZxSWSshweQCg+f5BI5iTfyBA7U4O6unqs0oY rf4An1qlHodPY5M35Jo0nEwRzyp+T72+ =/lKW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
