Are you upset by the fact that quite a lot of spam is currently being
silently blocked, automatically?  I suspect not.

I think this should be considered to be an additional measure that can
be added to the current armoury of anti-abuse measures that are already
in place.

The thing that distinguishes this one is that a human gets to look at
the mail, rather than it being automatically rejected.

It ought to allow us to reject more abuse, without significantly
increasing the false-positive rate.

If you really think that we're going to have a problem with moderators
blocking mails from real people who want to do constructive things
related to Debian, then we could always include some sort of appeals
mechanism for people that feel that they've had mails unfairly rejected.

Do you really expect such a mechanism to be needed?

Cheers, Phil.
