For several months now, I have posted to this group from time to time, and I have noticed that as soon as I post, there is an attempt to spam me immediately upon my post. This happens on *every* post, within a fraction of a second of posting, so it is not coincidental. This comes not from the list group per se, but from some spammers who have attached themselves or subscribed to the list, and run small scripts directing their spam upon a post, or at least mine. These are taken from my SMTP logs.
Initially, it came from one source, mail-in3.tiscali.be:62.235.13.190, and this has been going on for months.
Are you really getting spam from those? I just see connection attempts, which is a common way for mail servers to *avoid* spam, by checking if the mail was sent from a valid address. sourceforge does it too
