Doc,
What type of spam are you talking about? I have gotten a few bits that was
sent through this mailing list and I get very few spam messages addressed
directly to me.
If I post a message to a newsgroup (like comp.sys.cbm) I will get an increase
of spam for a few weeks.

Y'all,
I've had this email account for a while, and never been particularly
reticent about using or giving out the address. I've seen an
unbelievable increase in incoming spam since I joined this list. Yes,
I'm familiar with procmail filtering, and am about to start that, but
I'm curious as to why this list in particular attracts so much garbage.
I've seen a couple of other references to this, so I don't think I'm out
on a limb here.
What's going on, and is there a reasonable deterrent?
Doc
