So?

Don't stop selling guns, force people to buy bullet-proof jackets?

Don't forbid selling cigarettes, build larger hospitals?

Pardon me if I do not agree with you...

Your analogies are flawed.  Spam is easy to delete, but bullets are
exceedingly hard to dodge (outside the Matrix), and cigarettes are smoked
voluntarily by the people in whom they produce cancer.

That's exactly how I deal with it personally, but not everyone finds this an

So now I get 4x as much spam from the IETF list as all other sources :)

Can the discussion now retire to the IRTF anti-spam list?  There seems to
