Just this morning I've gotten 3 or 4 pieces of spam on the CentOS mailing list.
Tell us how we should reject that in advance and we will. Yes, the

Clearly you should assign an infinite number of monkeys to the problem!
How about a person named Ray instead? Or maybe Matt? This would be infinitely more easy than feeding those monkeys.
Is kinda weird though; I've also seen posts from what I assume to be
the same spam source (and around the exact same time) on the
dell linux-poweredge list.
I guess the big advantage to them on list is the archive now contains their post and if there was a URL, a link from the CentOS archive, pretty well positioned by Google and the likes, now points to their site possibly moving them up on the search engines. It's actually a pretty good tactic.

Is nothing safe?
