wow guys,
I've been signed up for this list for about a week and I've noticed a ton of
spam coming in now. I guess I should have used a different address than my
main one... I could stand the traffic, (and this is a high traffic list!) but
all the spam, no way.
If redhat can't control things better than this on their lists, I'm not sure
I want to use fedora.
You must be new on the net...
This is a public list. There is no way to prevent spammers (or anyone
else) from harvesting your address for their own purposes.
As for "volume of spam", I am not certain what you are complaining about.
I get next to no spam these days. Little, if any are posted to this list.
But then again, I use greylisting on my mail server and that kills 90+% of
all spam my mail server receives. Spam Assassin gets most of the rest.
You are not encountering a problem with Fedora, you are encountering a
problem that exists with e-mail lists as a whole.
