Dear Lucio,

   to clarify. I do not have any more control of this list than you. I do 
not know who adminsters this list either. All I know is that we are 
getting spam, and it does not take any effort to subscribe by a different 
name/address to continue sending it. The archives of the list will be 
affected by this, but you can always filter it on your side.

   I realize this is not what you want to read, I am sorry for the bad 
news.
