There was some kind of failure yesterday which resulted in a large number of false positives. There are still 10 PRs in the queue that Ceri or I will have to rescue out of there. (I may not be able to do this until this evening, USA time.) The way things work, there is a spamassassin trap that I generally try to clean out once a day. I tweaked the ruleset about 3 months ago and it is *much* better at preventing bogus PRs from being created. So far it has run about one false positive a month, including PRs over the 500k limit. This is with catching about 3x as many bogus things as we did before. After that PRs are assigned to 'pending' if they look bogus to GNATS. These are evenly split between spams that make it through the ruleset, but which are recognized as invalid PR formatting, and PRs where people reply to the initial PR Subject: line (the one without the 'category/number' prefix), or where their mailer mangles the contents, generally by using printed-quotable. The latter we try to rescue, when feasible. There are around 5-10 of these on an average day. In general if you do not see a response from GNATS within a few hours, you should go ahead and send email to bugmaster@FreeBSD.org so that we can determine what's up. But note that these queues are only checked once or twice a day. Finally, if your email address does not reverse resolve, GNATS will never see the report, because hub refuses email from addresses that do not reverse resolve on the theory that 99.99% of them are from botnets. mcl
