All the spam comes because of the archives of this mailing list stored as
HTML
in thousands of places. The web-spider programs used by the spammers are

My inbox is full of stuff like "Strictly Confidental" and "your solution to
never ending spam"

To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in
the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
