Or you can filter the spam. We use a filter and offer a filtering service = to anyone. Please do not flame me as this is NOT a solicitation - just = another option vs unique addresses. Those need to be changed frequently = as Jesse mentioned. Some of mine start getting spam within a few hours.

They simply have bots crawling the web picking up e-mail addresses off of the different websites. If the FreeBSD mailing list is mirrored on the web the e-mail addresses need to be salted so that bots can not recognize them as addresses. Also, spammers never send the e-mail with a real e-mail address in the from line either. Most of the time, most to all of the headers are forged. So the name and e-mail address that it was sent from probably aren't the same as what the spammer would be subscribed to the FreeBSD list with if he actually was subscribed to it anyway. My only effective way of blocking spam is to use unique e-mail addresses like you were doing with the freebsd@ one and then blocking those unique ones once they start getting spam. Once an address starts getting nailed it's on spam databases everywhere and so it's done for.

He's probably member of this maillist or maybe saw our emails at the web (the maillist is mirrored on web too. right?)
