    I agree, but to fight the amount of spam that goes through is not easy some
    times. The problem with mailing lists like this one is that the from line
    does NOT say it is from the redhat list but instead, the user who sent to
    the redhat list. So they can't put that into their program to allow it to
    come through. I don't use these type of services, but when getting around
    10,000 emails a day and only about 1,000 are valid for me, it is real tempting.
