It might be helpful to understand why people want to post on email
forums rather than an abuse desk. Is it to gain public attention on
the matter? Is there a bit of shaming going on and the reporter wants
the community to know they are fed up with the ESP? Are people
reporting on public forums b/c they want to know if others are
experiencing the same problem?
Posting the spam itself on forums is pretty much pointless.
On the other hand, having a forum where you can ask "Are the guys who
are supposed to be dealing with ab...@robot-penguins.xyz merely
clueless or actively rogue?" or "Does anybody have a contact at
helium-filled-cows.com?" does have value....
I think this mailing list serves that purpose quite well. :)
Cue somebody saying "in 2017, being clueless *IS* actively rogue" in
5..4..3 :)
Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by
incompetence?
Is Hanlon's law (razor) the new Godwin? :)
