I really don't care whether the linux-crypto lists is subscribers-only or open posting - let the users make the choice and I'll configure the list accordingly. Note that the lists already are behind quite a few spam filters - several DNSBLs used in different ways, then a spamassassin that learns from spamtraps and another filter with regexps. For some reason this mailing list appears to be targetted with spam much more than the others ... -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
