he might be right. a random bot is more likely to spam
user at linuxaudio.org than linux-audio-user at ...

a compromise woud be la-user, la-dev , la-ann  -
or user-ml at .. (mailing-list), etc. (but that's not catchy enough)

I'd suggest to alias the other way round:
if dev at linuxaudio.org is Spammed, you can announce and drop this feature
again while everyone  with "linux-audio-dev at linuxaudio.org" in their
address book won't ever notice.

in short term dev at .. will have less SPAM than linux-audio-dev, and in
the long-run SpamAssassin will mark dup.-postings in blacklists..

OTOH; with dev at lao - we'd benefit from a shorter subject! [la-dev]
compared to [linux-audio-dev] - there are usually < 50 chars for subject
in a 80x24 terminal :) - for email shortcuts there is an addressbook and
personally I use "LAD" as nick for it.
