It doesn't take a genius to write a script to convert mailman munged addresses to real addresses. I don't see the spam or viruses coming in because I have a very good spam filter, I am a member of several lists and run 1 list, I personally get around 100 spam messages a day, my wife gets 300. 99.9% of which are filtered out.
