I too don't really like those messages from Russia. I did translate
them and they are all advertisements for either souvenir conventions or
other vendors trying to get you to sign up for their services ... in
Russia :-/ So now, I just delete them immediately. They are a hassle,
but unless you filter out any foreign-language email ...sigh.

So, it's definitely spam. The SourceForge list servers do a pretty good
job of filtering (I see more of it than you guys as administrator).
However, I'm hesitant to restrict posting to members only. Here are my
reasons:
1. It makes it harder for people with multiple accounts to post to
the list.
2. It makes it harder for people to ask one-off questions, which I
think is an important function of the list.
3. There's nothing stopping spammers from signing up, unless we
either
a. Moderate the list or
b. Require approvals for subscriptions
Neither 3a or 3b is an option - it's just too much for me to handle.
Sorry.
So my policy has just been to ignore the fairly infrequent spam posting.
It's really at most a few a week. If I hear from you guys that you'd
rather leave the list than deal with it, we can think about doing
something. Hopefully the SF mailing list filters will continue to get
smarter and we'll see less of it.
Oh, there is one thing I can do: if someone wants to analyze the
messages and see if they're all coming from the same sender, I can ban
the sender via the list administration interface.

Is there any chance we can make this list members-only, at least for
sending purposes? I like incomprehensible Cyrillic messages with
potentially virus-laden attachments as well as the next person, but it
seems preventable.
Thanks,
Tom
