[users@httpd] Ads
This is kinda an apache question : )
Ever since I subscribed to this mailing list I've been getting like 10
emails wanting to sell me something. Are those from this mailing list? And
is there a way I can stop recieving them, or do I just have to deal with
them?

Whoops, sorry about that, didn't pay attention.
Anyway, can't say that I've suffered from much spam, and I've been posting
on this list for several months. I think I'd rather just assassinate the
spammers directly as well.... ;)

he didn't mean actually TO the list - he means did his name also get put
on some spam list when he subscribed. anyone who posts to this list knows
that you will get a LOT of spam to that account once you post because, as
joshua says, the archives are constantly combed by spammers.
only way around it is spamAssassin :)

I haven't been getting any ad emails via the list, it might be coming from
something else (just normal spam?). The list tends to stay pretty OT in
general. You'll know if it's from the list if it has the [users@httpd]
prefix.

No, they are not from the mailing list. It is possible that they are a
result of someone scraping addresses from a list archive. But that would
only be the case if you have posted to the list; it can't happen just from
subscribing. More likely it is just a coincidence that your spam problem
started at the same time as subscribing to the list.
For ways of dealing with spam, I suggest some strategic google searching.
You will find many many suggestions.
Joshua.
