Re: what happened to spam filters of this list
And, not to put too fine a point on it (and why I try not to respond), but a handful of spams will also generate tens or hundreds of mails from members of the list arguing the existence or the efficiency of the spam filters on the list.

Hi, I'm taking full responsibility of my actions. i'm talking about the subsequent spams, probably generated from same source. I'm just checking that same kind of spam(with similar message body) is posted multiple times. So spam filter of the list should detect it.
