Please fix the spam problem
This list is becoming annoying and unusable. Why did this start today, but
has never happened before?
Thanks for your help,
Lorin Johnson

Me too. However, I noticed this line in the bounces:
-0.2 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list
(+ entries are mostly 3.0ish)
Which looks to me like we are *already* in a whitelist. I hope he's got some other whitelist that gets a much higher score than his "auto white-list".
Thanks for taking some initiative on this though, Hal.

But that's not what's broken. What is broken is that he is
forwarding the message marked as spam to the recipient in the RFC 822
header (users@subversion.tigris.org) instead of the RFC 821 envelope
recipient (cmills@intek.com).
I'm copying this to mark@intek.com in case he hasn't realised.

Update:
I was hoping to be gone by now, but heard from Mark at Intek who has
said he'll whitelist tigris.org on that system and it should work.
Hope it does.

I checked intek.com and saw that is is a small business, so I called and
it had a voice menu with a directory of first names. I tried "Mark"
and got an extension for him. Intek's number is (425) 455-9935 and
Mark's extension is 3410. His voice mailbox is full, so I transferred
to the receptionist/operator or whomever was at extension 0 and left a
message with her, explaining that he needed to fix the spam filters on
sunboy and that they were making the SVN list unusable. (Even though I
haven't posted in a while does not mean I don't track discussions and
try to learn more!) He is due back at 12:30. Since they're in
Washington state, I take it that means within the next 20 minutes of
when I'm writing this.
The receptionist wanted my callback info so Mark could find out what was
going on. I told her to tell him to check sunboy's spam filter and the
SVN mailing list and if he needed more info than that, then with all
due respect, he should not be running their IT department. I don't
know if he'll call back, but it's mid November in Richmond and it's 70
degrees, so for the next 25-35 miles I'm going to be out on my bike
today and won't be in to take Mark's call.
I hope this fixes the problem and gives Mark a clue. I would not be
surprised if the reason his voice mail is full is because I'm not the
first one to complain to him.

It beats complaining about spam produced by spam filters, which then
gets spammed back because the spam filter thought the complaint was a
spam...
The really funny thing is that the subject headers of these re-spam
spams are starting to resemble the Monty Python song that inspired
people to use the word for unwanted messages in the first place.

What an irony. Using spam filters to catch spam produced by spam filters...

Blame it on cmills@intek.com (who is apparently subscribed to this
list), or mark@intek.com (who is the listed contact), or whoever is in
charge of sunboy.intek.com. They have Spamassassin configured incorrectly.
The good news is that adaptive spam filters can catch their crap and
sideline it.
