If you get spam through one of the OpenBSD mailing lists, you don't need to
send a copy to the list owner — chances are he's already seen it.
Also, please do not submit spam received through the
! mailing lists to spamcop,
as this will result in the list server being added to their RBL.
Complaining about and commenting upon spam on the list proper is
counter-productive, as it generates more traffic than the spam itself.
