User list spam

I notice that spam is starting to appear from the wine-forum. If its not
stopped word will spread and the user list will become unusable.

Does the wine-users list use Spamassassin or equivalent?
- if not, why not?
- if so, I've just written and tested a Spamassassin rule for my
mail system. I'm happy to contribute it to the list.

If the mail list owner would like a copy, please contact me off-list.

It's got some filtering IIRC, the problem is those users are
registering on the forum, not e-mailing the list directly.
