After joining this board I noticed that my spam rocketted. I've noticed the same sort of effect on other boards but not so marked.
I've never seen any problem associated with an opensuse list.
What else do you use this address for?
Some boards encourage people to use the list address for "to" and "reply to" that way everybody always gets to see the answer. This list always always sets "reply to" to my own email address.
My biggets concern though is that there are obviously email address collection bots / people kicking about on lists and even changing reply to etc doesn't defeat them as the originators email address is still buried in the source. Why isn't it all stripped out by the lists server? Spam is a problem to many people including isp's.

I too have not had a problem with spam that I could trace back to this list. AAMOF, I get a remarkably small amount of it, most from businesses I have ordered from. I don't remember what I have set the filters for, but it wasn't complicated, that's for sure! (I don't know enough to set up complicated filters!) For what it's worth, I'm using optonline.net from Cablevision, and KMail for all my mail, except a few times when I have needed Windows for some reason. Firewall router is a wired Linksys, with several year old software, and I do not belong to any blogs. I use Firefox for Googling. I don't know if any of this is part of my good fortune or not. --doug Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
