@xgqt Pfft, that's like asking hackers not to hack you.You just painted a target on your back.

@Phate6660 hmm, as if it wasn't already there...I'm really onto something else here, you see a lot of those spam bots will have no effect on OSS contributors but cracking, bruteforcing, social engineering, etc. ones account can have some effect.When it comes to mail, a spammer is just a annoyance, a cracker poses real danger.

@Phate6660 So I believe it would rather be in the spammers interest to remove public non-for-profit tech organizations from their lists :)
