I'm not seeing that on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. I think I get about 1 spam per day. The list has been around for a while, and it has been mentioned all over: freshmeat.net, the procps web site, every release announcement, emails on linux-kernel, etc. The linux-kernel list gets a bit more, but not much. Just a couple spams per day make it past the filters, in a flood of 100 to 400 legitimate messages per day. Dropping HTML mail eliminates most of the spam. The positive benefits of an open list are huge. Bug reports can come in freely. Also, do NOT force replies to go to the list or not. Decent mailers provide both reply-tosender and reply-to-all (group reply) abilities; these must be left distinct to be useful. _______________________________________________ Tuxpaint-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tux4kids.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxpaint-dev
