[Mediawiki-l] don't post through Gmane please, Platonides

[jidanni at jidanni.org]

Platonides (and others) don't post through Gmane! Just mail directly to
the WMF lists, please.

Of the
$ w3m -dump -cols 222 http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2009-April/author.html |grep -c Platonides$
17
articles you posted, only
$ w3m -dump -cols 222 'http://search.gmane.org/?query=&author=Platonides%40gmail.com&group=gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki&sort=date&DEFAULTOP=and&xFILTERS=Gorg.wikimedia.mediawiki-Aplatonides---A'|grep -c Platonides.*2009-04
5
are visible on Gmane, the remaining 12 met the fate of
http://gmane.org/spam-control.php , meaning they are invisible to normal
Gmane users, unless you know their secret URLs, like
$ lynx -dump -width=222 -nolist http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/30592/raw |grep -A 5 X-Spam-Report
X-Spam-Report: 5.9 points;

But from a non-marked-as-spam article of yours:
$ lynx -dump -width=222 -nolist http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/30712/raw |grep X-Gmane-NNTP-Posting-Host
X-Gmane-NNTP-Posting-Host: 22.red-83-51-57.dynamicip.rima-tde.net

$ host -t txt rima-tde.net
rima-tde.net            TXT     "v=spf1 mx:rima-tde.net -all"

Hmmm...

Etc. I give up. Anyway, let this be a warning for others who don't post directly.

Now let's turn to people reading lists via Gmane's NNTP interface.
To be able to see Platonides's messages, one needs to not have any
filter group=gmane.spam.detected action=discard
etc. in their readers.
