This list is and has always been subscriber-only.  

uijlqfjaboez at spammotel.com has a valid entry in the GNU mailman
subscriber list.  For all I know, the list is getting junk mail from his
address that is being spoofed due to the latest viruses that are going
around.  

I'd hate to kick somebody off for something that is beyond their
control.  Heck, I've been getting spam from myself with this MyDoom
virus...I guess I should procmail myself to /dev/null.  ;)

Cheers,
