The Debian Listmasters have spam filters in place, but they don't stop
everything. See: https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#ads

Not to the list of subscribers, if that's what you meant, but if you
post to the list you also run the risk of getting the spammers'
attention...

It is part of most publicly available mailing lists anywhere, I'm

You can help out by marking spam; please don't forget to add yourself to
a month once you've marked all remaining spam - see:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Webmaster/SpamClean
You can also go directly to the mailing list interface (but then the
other reporters can't keep track of whether a month already has
received five reports for each spam mail):
