Earlier today I enabled SpamAssassin filtering for all mail sent to the BTS.
Procmail and SpamAssassin have recently been installed into owner@bugs mail,
were we have monitored their progress and hit rate.
Last sunday, I enabled SpamAssassin filtering on a copy of all mail sent to
the BTS. 30% of the mail sent to the BTS(at least the mail that enters the
receive script) is spam, and of that, there were no false hits(at least with a
quick glance at the files).
With such high numbers(and such a good success rate), I have decided to not
wait a week for more data, but to roll it out now.
Also, Colin Watson has made a script to make it easy for us to edit .log
files(the file that stores the mails sent to a bug). If some bug has spam
already inside it, then please send a mail to owner@bugs, asking for it to be
fixed.
