Synopsis: send-pr database is spam harvested State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended State-Changed-By: ceri State-Changed-When: Tue Dec 2 02:10:29 PST 2003 State-Changed-Why: There are many reasons why we can't filter out the email addresses, including, but not limited to: o The email addresses in the PR must be correct for contributors to be able to ask further queries of the submitter; o The PRs must be sent out to the mailing lists for people to see them and supply fixes, etc.; o The GNATS database is public information, and is distributed to anyone who wants it over CVSup; o The web site can be harvested for addresses just as easily as the mailing lists. However, I'll suspend this for at least 12 months in case anyone comes up with a brilliant idea to get round this. Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-www->bugmeister Responsible-Changed-By: ceri Responsible-Changed-When: Tue Dec 2 02:10:29 PST 2003 Responsible-Changed-Why: This is one for the bugmeister; as the previous entry states, don't let this discourage others from working on it. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=59890
