Everyone,
I know there has been an increase in SPAM posting to our mailing lists.
There is little I can do to change the situation other than making our
lists member only. This will not fix the problem as there are scripts to
join Mailman lists and post SPAM.

    note: less than 5% of the SPAM I see as list manager successfully
    posts to our lists.

The SF.net staff is working on a more permanent solution to the problem
at the MTA level.

State of the SourceForge.net Site and Services:  UBE/UCE/Spam 
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=17790&group_id=1#spam

In the meantime please don't respond to SPAM that posts to our mailing
lists. It just makes more work for me. Thanks.
