 > Please, the spam from the WordPress trac generates a LOT of emails if
 you're subscribed to the [http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-
 trac wp-trac mailing list]. It makes it really difficult for gmail to
 distinguish what is real and what is spam, so the filter doesn't work the
 greatest.

 Surely. For Gmail, my wp-trac filter is set to never send any of them to
 spam if they're from the proper email address. Then I deal with the very
 rare spam comment flood manually.

 > Just install [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SpamFilter SpamFilter] or
 something. It even uses Akismet!

 We have Akismet installed. It wasn't working right last time we had a spam
 issue, but I think Barry has addressed that.

 Whenever we do have an issue, we'll all notice it pretty quickly thanks to
 wp-trac. (If not, hop into #wordpress-dev.) We can then make Trac read-
 only temporarily, block the dotorg account, and run a query to remove the
 comments.
