What I think you will find is that some spammers use this mailing list = to send spam. Most of it gets blocked because it is in HTML or RTF. However, various = honey-pots and organizations like SpamCop detect the mailing list servers as the = source of spam so the servers get black-listed or marked as spam. Unless the servers = themselves filter out spam before redistributing it, this is going to keep = happening.
