A little less spam on the debian-vote list, hopefully

Hi all, sorry for using the list for something else than its intended purpose.

Just a quick note to tell you I got in contact with Brandalley, a company that had been sending spam on the debian-vote list.

According to the employee that answered my emails, debian-vote <at> lists.debian.org is now blacklisted so we will no longer receive stuff, and they will reprimand the company that sold them the address. See attached email, in French, for reference.

Hopefully that will actually be the case.

Cheers,

axel

This is so damn good an idea! Debian would do well by being flexible
enough to explore this sort of thing.
