[WikiEN-l] Spam filtering on wikien-l

[David Gerard]

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.)
