[users@httpd] spam
Folks - I subscribed to these two groups (users and modules) to ask a simple
question and, within about 12 hours of subscribing, started getting spammed.
This royally sucks - to this point I'd managed to keep it out and I was hoping
the apache lists, of all folks, would take some measures to protect their list.
If I ask for back messages from the list, do you HAVE to put everybodys' email
address in there? Is there nothing the list owners can do to keep spammers
from getting at the subscribers' email addresses?
boo.

OffTopic comment: I use yahoo to participate on many mailing list. Yahoo
is the best in filtering out the spam.
I also use a Filtering on my mail client.

Sure. Lots of things. But all of them involve some sacrifice of the
openness of the list, and all of them would be ineffective anyway, since
there are many archives of the list, most of them not under apache.org
control.
This is a public list. If you participate in a public list, you need to
learn to deal with spam. (One technique: use a different email address
for your public correspondance.)
