SPAM filtering turned on

[David Borman <dab at BSDI.COM>]

Hi everyone,

The telnet-ietf at bsdi.com mailing list (and all mail destined
for bsdi.com) goes through a BSDI MailFilter box.  (See:
	http://www.bsdi.com/white-papers/war-on-spam
	http://www.BSDI.COM/products/BMF/
for more details.) As mail passes through the MailFilter box, it
gets a score on the probablility that it is SPAM.  Non-zero scores
cause a "X-UBE-Index: score/thresh" line to be inserted in the message
header, with the "thresh" being the threshhold at which the mail
will be rejected.  Up until now all messages for telnet-ietf at bsdi.com
have gone through, just being marked.

I've now had rejection turned on.  I don't expect this to cause
any legitimate messages to be rejected, but we're dealing with
computers and programmers, so anything is possible.  In looking
over the archive, nothing legitimate has been marked as spam.  In
fact, since the telnet working group doesn't officially exist any
more, there is no reference to it on the IETF web pages.  Thus, the
spammers haven't found out about it yet (as evidenced by no SPAM in
the archives).

Questions or comments to me.
