Due to having messages rejected, I was under the impression that the list server would rejecting messages that had email addresses embedded in the body of the message. This seems to no longer be the case. See for instance https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-10/msg00381.html where an email address appears in the quoted original message. In the last few days, for me, this has resulted in a significant increase in spam messages that are not false positives. I would encourage all posters to remove email addresses from quoted original messages in all replies to the list, as a common courtesy, even if this is no longer required or enforced by the list server. Also, could someone investigate the list server to determine if the changed behavior is a deliberate policy change, or if there is a new way to bypass the email address detection that previously rejected such posts.
