Not stopping spam in the first place is what pollutes the archives.

Which is different from going to:-
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/07/msg02311.html
and clicking on the "Report Spam" button how?? (also polite question)
ie. both methods achieve the same thing in getting the original post
removed from the archives.
I modified the advertised sites url in my response - they got no
backlinks from it. And they don't care if it's archived, the gmane and
google groups copies and a dozen other live on forever.
The company that benefited, sent, and commissioned the spam, are all
owned and run by the same person, and are all based in Australia.
It's a jailable offence to spam - report them to ACMA, not doing so just
encourages them. Ditto with reporting them to Google.
While I'm sure it's not your intention to encourage and nourish spammers
- it is exactly what you are doing when you don't do those things. (and
responding to the spam is not necessary, reporting it is).
