They're cutting the spam out of the anarchy-list, apparently. And we 
should be very glad they do so: the anarchy-list is one of the very few 
mailing lists I'm on that is relatively spam-free, despite the email 
address of it having featured on thousands of webpages for many a year. 
I wouldn't be surprised if they're saving us from something in the range 
of 20-50 spams a day, if I look at my own incoming spam rate. David, any 
statistics?

But, of course, as with any technical measure a spam filter can go 
wrong, and that's apparently what happened with the daily bleed.
