Those that slip by we delete manually -- they're easy to spot. This one, however, took advantage of the fact that majordomo wasn't configured as tightly as possible and so there was a hole left that allowed the spammer to bypass all controls :( In the meantime, we closed the hole (tx to Oliver and Walter) and it shouldn't happen again.
