Maybe you've been living under a rock for the last 20 years, but spam is quite common as soon as you have an e-mail address that anyone knows. > I get a lot of spam from > this ML, and *none* from others, even with a high volume of ham messages. Probably because you quickly unsubscribe from lists which send you some spam and you end up being subscribed only to the ones who do aggressive filtering to the point that even useful messages get dropped ? Or people posting from various origins regularly getting blocked due to political RBLs or DNSBLs being used... Before switching to the anti-spam, it took more time to deal with abnormal blocking than with spam. So no thanks. Or maybe you only subscribe to closed lists which, like sects, only accept subscribers and reject any external contribution, and are insulting to whoever is put in CC. Not to mention the fact that someone using multiple addresses can only post from one or receive the same messages multiple times. The list is open, the archives are available, and the spam amount is low, even if the ratio is quite high due to the low traffic of the list. If that causes any trouble, you don't need to be subscribed, you can simply unsusbcribe and post whenever you want without being subscribed. We're not trying to set a record on the number of subscribers so nobody will feel offended by you unsubscribing. However I'd just make a comment : posting to a list with a nickname such as "Hoggins!" and an address which doesn't look serious, rather impolite like "fucks...@wheres5.com" is not the best way to receive consideration for your posts.
