Just a quick question as a matter of interest: How much spam do the forum moderators, and the Debian.org maintainers get?
Do they find it necessary to use aggressive spamfiltering on accounts, or not?
Reason I ask is that I run an email security-awareness site, and one issue we're looking-at is the harvesting of 'mailto' hyperlinks from webpages and its relation to spam volumes.
Just to clarify I'm referring to email spam here, not robotic forum posts.
Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230

Re: Do moderators and webmasters get spam?
We don't actually get that much spam on the forums email addresses... but we do get a fair bit to @debian.org - luckily, we have the nice DSA team to train spamfilters correctly, setup greylisting, etc.
