Most likely, the same thing happens to OP that happens to me: the lists

I see that too. Here are some things that can be done about it.
Whitelist monty-python.gnu.org in your access lists.
Are you serious?
I know what you mean, but I feel this is playing with symptoms. Given
the amount of spam gnu.org relays, the auto*tools's list policy finally
should be reconsidered.
Face it, this is not 1994 anymore, the internet has lost its innocence,
and badly maintained open lists like the auto*tools lists on gnu.org are
a relict of the past.
Is it really gnu.org lists or is it something else? I'm on the
phpgroupware lists and the dotgnu lists and I have received NOT ONE SPAM
and they are hosted by gnu.org. However, most of the mail I see from
autoconf, automake and libtool seems riddled with SPAM, more than half.
Sorry, if this sounds like ranting, but I feel something needs to
change.
Here's to hoping something can be done.
