Way too much SPAM on this list atm

[Geert Janssens]

Unfortunately, this trick wouldn't work.

I am also subscribed to a Crystal Space mailing list, which uses 
[CsMain] Subject heading...

Even there, we still get spam, and several spam mails simply start with 
[CsMain] as well. Apparently certain spam generators are already clever 
enough to include this.


Cheers
Geert
