Some threads just go on too long. Personally I think a troll
has hijacked the main centos list again and is inducing food
fight behaviours while that troll perfectly 'innocently'
asserting that it is just respoding to all email.
see:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4216011961522818645
for a discussion of the problem of 'capture' in FOSS projects.
But if one loses interest in a thread, it is easy enough to
tune them out:
1. Install procmail; yum knows how
2. Add a mark and drop ruleset
[herrold@new .procmail]$ cat ~/.procmail/killfilerc
#
# mark them
:0fh
^ *List-Id:.*centos\.centos\.org
^ *Subject:.*CentOS Based Linux Firewall Document
*!^X-brand
| formail -A "X-brand: killfile "
# and dump them
:0 w
* ^X-brand: killfile
/dev/null
3. Integrate it in mailhandling; a fragment from:
/home/herrold/.procmailrc
# easy drops
INCLUDERC=$HOME/.procmail/killfilerc
-----------------------------------
easy enough to save 'caught' pieces to a file, rather than
devnull until you are certain collateral damage has not been
induced; see the procmail manpage series for a full
discussion.
