Who come to a gunfight armed with butter knives... It is absolutely retarded that the admins do not allow them the tools they need to do their jobs. I think they should just stop and let Team Mez (tm) deal with the mess. I guarantee you he'd give himself the necessary tools if he has to do the work. Members- stop reporting spam. Spamhunters, stop doing the job until the admins give you the tools to perform your task in an efficient manner.

Yes there are many official debian mail lists. I'm on the debian-user list. High volume but worth wading through it.

Well, there's Debian-www, but since this isn't an official forum...

http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/
The Forum's search box is terrible. Use site specific search, e.g.
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A ... terms+here

Assuming he'd actually do the work. My wager is that he (they) would simply let the forum choke on the spam and die.

Regardless, the current situation is ultimately unsustainable.

sigh.
I meant: Perhaps among the tons of mailing lists for Debian, perhaps there is one where users from here can state their problems and ask for a change.
Hard to understand? I don't think so, cause confuseling could:

Official or not, there is a link to here at Debian, and the last time i checked Debian didn't sell viagra.

Unfortunately, much of what you post makes little sense to me no matter how hard I try. *sigh*

If it doesn't make sense, do me a favor and don't post meaningless answers to what makes no sense to you.
Or leave Texas for a while and go to where people speak English.

I bet your fellow Germans look to you for inspiration about how to best be a horse's ass. A high compliment indeed.
Good luck with exacting change here through any mailing list, best to grab your torch and pitchfork and hope for the best.

You're the one who asked the question.

I'm guessing you've never been to Texas or even the US. But when has experience or fact ever changed your preconceptions. I have to keep reminding myself that you know everything. :roll:

I asked a question.
If i ask a question, don't answer.
You don't understand me, so please don't answer.
It is a waste of time. To post: "Yes, Debian has mailing lists" is a waste of everyones time.
I should probably be happy that you didn't explain how to use icedove.

ktxbye.
