[documentation] OT: Spam via this list?

[Steven Peck]

Yes, we get spam.  We have spam filters maintained by OSUOSL but we
still get spam.  On all the lists.  When we find an id that has added us
to a public list we ask them to stop and they usually do.

Spam is an unfortunate reality in modern email life.
