(They may have read my emails > for that?!)?!! I just checked my spambox and most of the spam there was sent through the caml-list. Most of it is "real" spam, and not windows viruses and such. The caml-list server does mark the messages with spam-oracle, although it doesn't get as good of a hit ratio as my spam-oracle database. (I didn't know I was getting these messages until now). Historically, though, the caml-list has gotten more spam than any other list I've been on. Perhaps the administrators need to reconsider only allowing subscribers to post, or something more complicated, like requiring feedback to post if you aren't a subscriber.
