Perhaps gnu.org isn't interesting enough for spammers? I can tell you from my
experience as kde.org admin: the more popular the lists, the more spam, the
more likely it's subscription only. I can't give you exact numbers though.
What I consider _very_ ugly though is that these mails are simply wasted and
not moderated or even replied full quote. Right now I have to dig in my sent
folder to resend with the correct From header.
Greetings, Stephan
