I've seen a slight increase in spam sent to me directly slipping through
my spamassassin filters, but nothing like the flood coming from
debian-user.  I also recently started using greylisting on my mail
server and suspect that it's helping immensely with the direct spam, but
it can't do anything for stuff that's forwarded by a list.

Does anyone happen to know whether the d-u list server uses greylisting
(and, if not, why not)?
