Hmm, are you talking about incoming SPAM mail to @debian.org addresses?
There's nothing we can do about this from the individual DD's POV. Even
more so, they are not visible to the public, and this poll is rather to
judge what courses of action WRT @debian.org addresses which *are*
visible to the public are alright or not.
SPAM with forged @debian.org addresses is probably really a problem for
our reputation (although one could argue that people who fall for it are
probably not going to recognize us anyway, but you never know), but not
one we can do a lot against, I'm afraid (although I'm no Mail-Server
guru).
