Too Late?
Are you afraid guile will lose part of it's userbase if the admins
stop distributing information about asian supermarkets?

AFIK displaying addresses as "name at domain dot org" is quite
effective.

Banning all mail from hanmail.net (+ "address@hidden"
"address@hidden" "address@hidden")...

...hmmm, it seems that the guile lists have a problem with
specifically asian (possibly more specifically korean) spam.
I say this coz they require ideographic charsets to view
them, maybe a simple guile-list specific heuristic could
work. Hmmm...

Heres an idea, make a address@hidden list (or whatever
domain the fsf-china uses for its' lists) and boot all ideographic
mails to that address?

NOTE: If anyone thinks this is racist then they are stupid, there
has never (to my knowledge) been a guile discussion held on these
lists in an ideographic charset (not that I can understand them
but few technical discussions require pictures of noodles and
walkmans!). Also there would then be a new list to foster
guile related discussion on (albeit swamped in spam ha ha ha)
