Is it just me or has the list been spammed a few times recently? I
complained to the usual addresses abuse, postmaster at all the relevant
sites and received what must have been an automatic response (it came back
so quickly) as well as the usual mail address not found thingo for
abuse@advanc.net

Is there something we can do so that this doesn't happen? How about not
letting anyone send to the list unless they are subscribed to at least one
of the lists (chat for example if they can't handle the traffic from
questions). 

Dunno if it's a workable/sensible solution but it's the only thing I can
think of.
