While it hasn't made the list useless, it is indeed a major pain in the ass 
that's fairly recent. I've been on this list about a year and haven't had 
this bad a problem before. 

It's a nasty problem that shouldn't be minimized. Many users won't (or can't) 
take "heroic" steps (spamassassin,mailfilter,etc) but will abandon the list 
as a resource instead.
