[pydotorg-www] Spamfilter

[Patrick Ben Koetter]

Alexander,

there are spam filters in place and we regularly tune and improve them. It's
an ongoing battle. Most of the time we win - very few times the spammers win.
By nature, because of their 1:n distribution, mailing lists are a preferred
target for spammers.
