Because it's an easily found e-mail address, not moderated, and earlier
attempts at doing more restrictive filtering (i.e., blocking dynamic
IPs) didn't really work out due to quite a few people running their own
mailservers?
Plus, it's not well-known enough to make it into any 'don't spam this or
you'll end up in grave trouble' lists. Maybe if we started reporting
every spam that came through?
