Like most (but not all) Linux development mailing lists, the linux-btrfs
mailing list is open for anyone to post, even if they're not subscribed.
There are filters on vger.kernel.org which catch a lot of the spam, but
not all of it; the reality is that some will slip through.

You just have to live with it: make sure you run your own spam filters
and are careful about links in mails.
