I subscribed to this list so that I could package a spam filter that I wrote. The tremendous volume of spam that I now receive (10+ messages per day vs. 2.5 last month) serves to help train the filter better. As a matter of fact, my filter now knows words in several languages instead of just English. See, Debian is actually doing me a service by making lists open to non-subscribers and posting my email address unobfuscated. I should be thankful. -- MSCE: Must Call Someone Experienced
