1. Never reply to SPAM in the Debian MLs, just report it as SPAM using
   the web interface.

2. If you need to talk about spam, open a new thread (as that thread
   will not be spam, although it *might* be quite off-topic).

Doing it this way makes it easier/neater to clean up the archives.

Everyone has that responsibility.  Go to:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/recent

find the offending post, and click on the "Report as SPAM" button.

Also, please read this:
https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/

The stuff you want is towards the end of that page.

This is a long-time policy of most Debian MLs.
