Your solution is to knuckle under to the spammers, closing off the lines of communication between Debian Users? Spam is like Windows viruses. You can filter, firewall, proxy, and still they'll get in by walking in off the street. Shutting down legitimate lines of communication because some jerks use them too is just plain dumb. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
