I am not sure I understand the point here. Are you saying that all those posts
to the press email are ones that have slipped through the spamassassin filter?
Whatever the system that is in place, the press list is currently overrun with
spam - I did a quick count and got a ratio of about 100 spams for every couple
of real messages. If we were to change the email address to "contact" and not
publish that on the main web page, I am sure that ratio would decrease
dramatically.
