ummm, I wonder if this is possible myself. I have not read SourceForge 
policies on this issue, but I imagine they must have some kind of spam 
filtering going on. Now, I'm subscribe to many lists at sourceforge and 
various other places and they do get this kind of messages, rarely but they 
do -- just as phpslash-users does.
We definitely need not only spam filters, but blackholes setup (by IP and 
whatever else we can use -- open proxy, etc...). Whoever uses this list 
legitimately should know better.

On the bright side, we have to admit that spam makes us all laugh. Enlarging 
body parts that work on specifics areas (not in your hand, throat or 
stomach, but targets that area). Making phone calls for $0.039 (3 cents and 
9 chelines). And the lovely and well respected 
African-related-son-of-king-or-queen spams, better known as the "Nigerian 
Spam". A hillarious piece of work for those who have dare to read the first 
two lines before deleting it.
