Funny, but my spam filter caught this message. If it weren't for you,  
I wouldn't even have noticed it existed :-)

Blacklisting wouldn't work. There was a legitimate post from e-mail  
address <[email protected]> to this list in 2003, see:
<http://discuss.develop.com/archives/wa.exe?A2=ind0303&L=ADVANCED-JAVA&P=R465&I=-3

This suggests that the spammer is using e-mail addresses of real  
people subscribed to the list in its messages From header, and is not  
subscribing new fakes. Maybe next time it'll use your e-mail address,  
and you wouldn't be happy if you got blacklisted because of an  
impostor. There's not much the list can do about this. If you have a  
good spam filter (as I do), it'll hide the message from your eyes; I  
have no better idea.
