Or much worse: spam the posters with the addresses.
I'm getting lately a constant share of UCEs (mostly from the US and Hong Kong),
who got their addresses probably from Debian-Lists or the Bug-System.
What do the other people do against it? It is annoying, since spam consumes
bandwidth and costs me money to download. The upstream ISPs mostly seem
unwilling/unable/incompetent to do anything.
