I am receiving a constant stream of spam. Does anyone NOT have this problem?
Any suggestions to minimise spam would be welcome.
Thanks, Terry

Postings to users@openoffice.org mailing list is available to the

Yes, virtually all mailing lists at Apache are publicly archived, both
here at Apache and elsewhere. See pointers to the archives here:
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html
Also, As noted earlier, the users@openoffice.org mailing list is going
away in the near future.

Terry,
Using the same ISP that you use, I have been able to cut down the amount of spam that comes to my inbox. I ALWAYS take the time to mark spam as spam, thus my filter improves with each instance. It has taken many years but it is effective. I do have a few false positives but I get a few weeks to review the bulk mail folder to correct them.

Yes. The spam is received by the address I use solely for this list. I have also received spam at an address I use for another list but nowhere near as much, probably because that list is less active.

I use an ISP that has spam detecting software, and keeps the offending
messages two or three weeks giving me the chance to look at the sources
and subjects and decide what I want to look at and then delete. The few
false negatives that get through are almost always detected by
Thunderbird's Bayesian Junk email detector. I does have to learn, but
the learning is quick.
There are other tools that I'm sure others on the list will describe.

Posted by "Dennis E. Hamilton" <or...@msn.com>.
I have seen a small amount of spam that impersonates @penoffice.org lists, but are not from those lists. None of these impersonate the @incubator.apache.org lists though.
In my case, the tip-off is that my spam filter, which has this and the other lists white-listed, does not pass the fakes.
I think some are concerned that their e-mail addresses have been harvested from the list archives, but that would not appear to be from the list unless that was part of the counterfeiting.
Administration of the @openoffice.org lists is not generally available to Apache. However, there are means for banning @incubator.apache.org list subscriber whose account has become a source of spam.

If your mail headers don't have a List-ID of

The ASF runs SpamAssassin with pretty effective rules on all of it's
public lists, so we usually do pretty well.

I've noticed that more SPAM gets through to my email since I joined the Apache OpenOffice project. Oh well for me it is maybe 7 a week instead of 1 or 2.
Sorry for the trouble, I don't know what to do about spammers who mine publicly available emails. We are not going to be able to hide our identities behind openoffice.org registrations.
Back in the 1990s my email was part of out domain registration. By the mid-2000s I was receiving 200 spams a day both home and in the office. We found an external filtering service and that 60 minute daily time sync went away. I do feel your pain.

Thanks to all who have commented. The Spam is NOT coming through the mailing list BUT IT IS addressed to the account which I created for this list and use for no other purpose. Most is caught by the spam filter but there is a lot of it.
