RFD: SPAM

Y'all,
  I've had this email account for a while, and never been particularly
reticent about using or giving out the address. I've seen an
unbelievable increase in incoming spam since I joined this list. Yes,
I'm familiar with procmail filtering, and am about to start that, but
I'm curious as to why this list in particular attracts so much garbage.
I've seen a couple of other references to this, so I don't think I'm out
on a limb here.

  What's going on, and is there a reasonable deterrent?
