Some people apparently feel it's appropriate to spam a general-purpose mailing list full of humans with (sometimes many) messages from a bot reporting errors that most of the audience can't do anything about, instead of mailing only committers (who can), or using a dedicated list for the purpose. The same thing started in -PORTS quite some time ago, where I find personally find that it generates more cr@p than the real traffic at times. As always, if you don't agree with other people's assessment of what you should have in your mail folders, procmail is your friend. Plonk it and get on with life. I trust that garbage doesn't make it to the mail archives though. That would be more than slightly pathetic. Cheers, AS
