I don't think so, providing the bayesian filters you're using are properly trained. I'm using popfile and I find it extremely effective at picking off the spam whether it's via a list or not. I can't remember having seen a spam via the blfs-support list, barring the false +/- stuff. Not to say that the crap shouldn't be stopped as close to source as possible.

well, just between yesterday and today, there were 12 spam emails to/from this list.
4 ebay, 4 paypay, 4 singletons.
the rest of the spam, was 1 in my inbox.
no filtering / rulesets applied.

lists should block anything that purports to be from a site like paypal or ebay as a matter of course.
what list owner would use a list for an account with them?

I've gotten warnings about bounced messages from the list, by bouncing paypal / ebay emails.

sending to /dev/null means you don't see them, but it doesn't tell sender that the list addy is defunct. list should bounce any email saying paypal, ebay, or purportedly from a bank about account data / status.
