For one, we DO NOT send spam back to the list about spam because that spam is spam itself and lowers the S/N. Whomever sent all of those messages "poisoning" the spammer database is a spammer too. If you get spam from the list contact the postmaster who is Jonathan M Bresler. He does a good job at keeping the S/N ratio up.
