Aha! If you enter a spam rule then you get an option to add more rules.
Doh... That was not obvious at all for me from the interface.

OK, so I added spam rule 1 that just accepts on:
Message-Id: <address@hidden>
Then the second rule matches on:
Message-Id: .*
And Holds the message for now.

This supposes that the commit script always has a Message-Id of that
form and spam won't. If this works out then I will change the second
rule to Reject.

Yes it seems those are gone. Great work.
Who administrates this and where are changes in setup sent to?
I would like to subscribe to these kind of infrastructure setup change
message because I am maintaining a couple of projects and mailinglists
and it is good to know when something changes (and why of course).

Cheers,

Mark
