Wikimedia has a spam filter. It kills the worst of it. But wikien-l still has a pile THIS HIGH in the queue. So I've set the filter to zap messages with a spam score over 7. For comparison, humans seem to score no more than 2. The upside of this is that messages in the queue should be a lot easier to get to quickly.
If you send a message (and you're not on moderation) and think it didn't get through, *check the list archive first*, and if it's not there after a while please forward me a copy so I can try to work out what happened. If you're on Gmail, *check the archive first* because it never shows you messages it thinks you sent. (This is apparently a feature.)
