I can only recall seeing these on the hugs specific lists (hugs-users,
hugs-bugs), not the more general Haskell lists and they seem to be
auto-triggered by e-mail size. It wouldn't surprise me to learn they're
administered differently from haskell and haskell-cafe and just get
relayed through haskell.org. However I fully agree with you that spam is a
real problem (I estimate at least 50% of the spam I get comes from the
Haskell/hugs lists).
