The easiest solution would be for the list owners to require people to
subscribe before posting. So far, they seem unwilling to do that. All the
product-support lists to which I subscribe (except this one) have that
policy, and I never get spam from any of them. I would request the list
owners to consider taking that step before this list gets totally unusable.
Once spammers get an address, they pass it around, so the problem will only
get worse until something is done.
