Re: [Mailman-Users] a question about unadvertised lists and spam

My question is - are spamers able to pick up lists from the default (but not easily accessible) default mailman listinfo page and start bombarding us with spam on all lists? Or should I set the "Advertise this list" option to "no" for the lists on the default listinfo page?

My opinion, based on only anecdotal observation is that it doesn't matter. The spammers will get your list addresses from spyware on your list member's computers (it only takes one).
