People have been reporting spam for years. The amount of spam keeps
increasing. This list appears to be running spamassassin and I'd guess it is
an out-of-the-box configuration. Here is an example of why spam makes it to
the list:

As you can see what only got scored 3.0 on the list's server, got 11.3 on
ours. While it is true that we can be more restrictive, it appears that the
SA running on the list could be tuned a little better.
BTW, please reply to the list only. I've discovered this list strips off my
reply-to which contains an address which is not challenged here.
