Huh. This is weird because I am not seeing much spam myself.

Greg are you also a mailing list owner / moderator for the sysadmin  
list?

I guess it is possible that google is simply dropping the messages, it  
maybe I am just more spam tolerant.

I agree when a list is actually a list, but sysadmin was a contact  
address long befoe it was an alias...

If sysadmin is really just a spam trap (and I still don't understand  
why Russell and Greg ate seeing heaps of span and I am not), then we  
would be better off just deleting it and bouncing mail back to sender.
