lucky you :) - maybe those spammers are friendly when they sense a lost

in this case you can even provide more aliases, not that it would make
much sense...
it might cause loads of readers to change their mail-filter(s). but
moving to linuxaudio.org will alter the X-Been-There header anyway.
just do it in one step. april fools day!
gonna be fun,

yes. -lad , lau & laa are even better aliases!
retaining the orginal mailbox names, should also make it easier for
(external-)email-archives to migrate to the new archive...
he might be right. a random bot is more likely to
spam
user(a)linuxaudio.org than linux-audio-user@...
Ok, right...
a compromise woud be la-user, la-dev , la-ann -
or user-ml@.. (mailing-list), etc. (but that's not catchy enough)
Agreed
I'd suggest to alias the other way round:
if dev(a)linuxaudio.org is Spammed, you can announce and drop this feature
again while everyone with "linux-audio-dev(a)linuxaudio.org" in their
address book won't ever notice.
If I understand you well, it means making dev(a)linuxaudio.org an alias
(that can be dropped if causing too much issues) right ? in short term
dev@.. will have less SPAM than linux-audio-dev, and in
the long-run SpamAssassin will mark dup.-postings in blacklists..
Well, to be
honest ATM there seems to be no spam on linux-audio-dev to
be moderated and none received in my mailbox (from lad). It has always
surprised me. OTOH; with
dev@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.
Prefix for the subject line can be changed. It's the subject_prefix
parameter. we could make it [LAD], [LAU] and [LAA] (that's the
shortest I can think of and it would make terminal users happy).
