First, I do support implementation of a scheme like moderation for
unknown posters, or tmda.  Something needs to be done.

However, I'm wondering: what happens to people who erroneously report
the source of spam, as you have demonstrated here?  Such
"ready-fire-aim" behavior may make the spam recipient feel better, but
no real damage is done to the spammer, and real damage is done to
debian.  Therefore, I feel people who aren't responsible enough to
investigate the true source of spam before reporting the debian lists
as the source should be removed from the debian lists.
