Outside of the posted e-mail address debate here is a supplement to your spam 
statistics concerning FreeDOS, to keep on topic.

My domain receives an average 200-300 spam and virii every day, with typical big 
fluctuations due to spreading of The Virus Infestation Of The Month.  The 
FreeDOS-dedicated account has only received viruses and spam through the sourceforge 
mail-list posts, or possibly forged from there.  Those average less than one a day, 
with the most in a single day being five or six based on my recollection.  This, by 
the way, is emphatically not a challenge to those generating them to aim better.

As far as FreeDOS mail-list-only generated spam and virus traffic, I see no impact in 
this direction.  Of course, this may change in the future as the virus-writers and 
spammers ramp up their software's "intelligence", if you want to call that assault an 
"intelligent" one.
