The level of spam here has now gone past my tolerance limit. Okay on broadband via a webmail interface (I was doing that on holiday in Kurdistan, last at the wonderfully slick and professional Saraf internet cafe in Diyarbakir) but I don't have broadband here and some of these spams have been huge.
As far as I can see, it isn't a matter of the address database being compromised (by either a public archive or a virus attack on some subscriber's machine) - these spams have been routed through the mailserver itself, so simply inventing a new address as I've done before won't do a thing to reduce the spam volume.
I'd like to resubscribe if/when the mailserver gets secured against spammers and HTML/virus abuse (subscriber-only posting and challenge/ response subscription, or something like that). Meanwhile I'm a regular on uk.music.folk so you know where to find me.
Is there anything happening on the sourceforge list? From my attempts to find it, it seemed to have the opposite problem - successful security by staggeringly arcane obscurity.
cheers - jack
