Re: SPAM

[Paul Wade <paulwade@greenbush.com>]

I would agree in the case of the changes list. There should be no reason
that an outsider would post to lists used for development and maintenance
of the Debian distribution. The user list needs to be open so people can
get help by email using whatever net access they can borrow/steal until
they have a running Debian GNU/Linux system.

The SPAM did not have a Cc or To header naming a debian listserver. This
would be a good reason to reject messages to any list.
