I use greylisting so I get very few spams and now most of my spam comes from
alsa-devel. Greylisting on the alsa-devel server would help a lot to decrease
spam additionally decreasing load of the server.
Another annoyance of alsa-devel, connected with the above one, is that my
second level filters stop some of the spam from alsa-devel and I get
unsubscribed every few days because this spam is not delivered to me.
Fortunately the warning message gets thru and I can answer it and
resubscribe...

PS. I hope I will not miss any news on V3505. Even just playing sound is a
problem here.
