Hasn't it ocurred to anyone that a really simple denial of service
attack vs. bugtraq would be to send fakemail nonsense 'from' known
security folks to bugtraq?
That way, the signal-to-noise ratio goes in the gutter while 1) the
fakemail drivel clogs the list up, and 2) innocent folks who have been
spoofed get dropped from the list.
