About spam

I have an  evidence that some robots can grab our email adress, even
with our mangling process on winehq. I used my work adress only onto
wine-devel and got spammed last week.

A lot of spammers do dictionary attacks using various email combinations 
including first initial last name(a)whatever.isp.

And I get regular email at "marcusPleaseRemoveMe(a)jet.franken.de", since
I get all mail @jet.franken.de, so the scrambling does not really help ;)

But basically I do not care, I no longer read my spam folder, I just delete
everything that gets in there.
