Note that the 'who' feature has been restricted for a LONG time. And
there have not been 47 different addresses sending spam to the list
itself. So, if you are getting spammed because if the list then someone
is on the list and harvesting from the headers - which the recent changes
won't impact AT ALL. There is no way to stop that. Anyone can sit on
a list and scarf up addresses from the headers.
