Of late there has been an explosion of spam Thought it was only a google-groups (USENET?) issue and would be barred from the mailing list.
But then find its there in the mailing list archives as well Typical example: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2017-July/724085.html What gives?? On a different note this problem seems to be peculiar to comp.lang.python via google-groups and is absent on ½ dozen other google groups I see. Since spammers are unlikely to be choosy about whom they spam: Tentative conclusion: Something about the USENET-ML gateway is more leaky out here than elsewhere -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
