I don't know whether it's ironic or in some way Pythonesque, but this
is the only mailing list that I've seen significant amounts of spam
on...

Maybe spam filters have trouble distinguishing between Monty Python
and unsolicited commercial email?

Bear in mind that the mailing list has a bidirectional gateway to the
comp.lang.python newsgroup.

Where google groups is a perennial source of garbage.

Personally, I see almost zero spam in "this group" (reading it in
comp.lang.python). That's attributable in part to my News provider
filtering out stuff and in part to my .score file entry that
automatically discards anything posted via groups.google.com.
