Spam is being sent because the Department of Natural Resources refuses to issue hunting licenses for them because the DNR operates under the mistaken notion that spammers are a protected species. The mail guru works hard to ban spammers as they show up. This is like trying to rid your space ship of tribbles. The FreeBSD lists are every bit as subject to the net as any one persons mailbox. Out of the 150 or so FreeBSD emails I get each day, one or two of them are spam (less than one percent). I can always recognize them by the header. I just delete them. If this is too much for you to bare, perhaps your stated plan of action is best.
