Plus, how many emails do we manually approve through now? Over the years since I have been an admin (2005?) I have cleared the queue a number of times. I clear it by using browser page search on "Subject" and find that I can visually scan a few hundred subjects and pull the ham from the spam. I reckon that each pass of ~200 message queue yields 4 potentially legitimate messages - actual people attempting to communicate. There are an equal number of e.g. twitter.com invites when people let programs at their address book. The rest are spam. 2% ham, 3% oops, and 95% spam. When I come across someone who is either on the list or should be on the autorecipient list, I use the queue interface to add them to the accept list. For example, the other day Noriko sent from noriko@xxxxxxxxxx, so I passed the message and clicked to add this alias to the accept list. I'm an admin on so many lists that I don't let the queue emails land in my inbox any longer, so I don't scan them for details. If someone jumps on the queue once a week, it should work. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
